Restructuring/Insolvency

About

Provided by Slaughter and May

Any company, no matter how well managed, may experience financial difficulties. Economic downturns, refinancing risk, changing business models, new competitors and unexpected events can all create significant challenges. We have decades of experience of helping our clients navigate these issues, whatever their cause.

We advise on all stages and aspects of financial distress, from contingency planning, distressed investments, capital and corporate restructurings (including by way of scheme of arrangement, company voluntary arrangement and pre-packaged administration sale) and acquisitions and disposals, to formal insolvencies, both contentious and non-contentious.

We are recognised as the leading company-side firm in the market, and have extensive experience of advising the full range of stakeholders, including creditors, bond trustees, private equity firms, hedge funds, insolvency practitioners, central banks and governments.
