About

Provided by McDermott Will & Emery LLP

McDermott’s bankruptcy and restructuring group is a global team knowledgeable in all aspects of distressed transactions. The team acts for major private equity firms buying distressed assets through a Section 363 sale, enabling investors to acquire the assets of troubled companies, at a discount, via the bankruptcy sale process. We have experience—and a veritable track record in advising the full range of interested parties in large, complex matters, both domestically and internationally. We have particular expertise in the bankruptcy/restructuring niches of healthcare and life science (and considerable practice working on such matters). We have, undoubtedly, the strongest healthcare focused practice, in the field. In addition, our municipal debt restructuring practice is among the deepest in the country - we are, resultantly, the ‘go to’ firm for these specialties. We benefit from a large, highly-skilled department allowing us to take on the biggest and most complex matters, in this arena. The department forms part of a strong national and international network, being able to leverage significant resources located in New York, Boston, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Florida, and across Europe and Asia. This allows us to provide global advice. We are renowned for our cross-border knowledge making us popular amongst large multi-national corporations
