About

Provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP & Affiliates

The European corporate restructuring practice is headquartered in London and works in conjunction with Skadden lawyers throughout the world. We regularly advise European enterprises in cross-border, out-of-court restructurings and prenegotiated plans of reorganisation, as well as in judicial, insolvency restructuring transactions and bankruptcy proceedings. Our lawyers have participated in many of the most complex restructuring transactions and insolvency-related proceedings of the last decade and have been instrumental in the development of sophisticated, innovative strategies that also draw on the firm’s rich background in mergers, acquisitions and corporate financing transactions. The firm also advises on insolvency issues in corporate transactions and in connection with litigation-related matters.

Our team has been ranked as a leader by IFLR1000, The Legal 500, and Chambers and Partners for corporate restructuring. We also have been recognised as Restructuring Team of the Year by IFLR and International Legal Firm of the Year and International Insolvency & Rescue Firm of the Year by Credit Today.
