Restructuring/Insolvency

Clients look to our team’s experience and guidance whenever restructuring risks and opportunities arise. Commercial and practicable, we apply an outcome-oriented approach to restructuring and insolvency matters both in the boardroom and the courtroom.

We bridge differences and move proceedings and transactions forward strategically and effectively, across client types and market segments.

Directors and senior leadership of prominent Canadian and international companies, industry-leading investors, lenders, private equity firms and pension funds, court-appointed monitors, receivers and trustees look to us for counsel in high-profile and cross-border engagements. This diverse client base informs our experience, resulting in creative, constructive and effective strategies for our clients.

We play a lead role in insolvency and restructuring work in every economic sector. Our broad experience includes traditional bankruptcy, receivership, restructuring and insolvency matters—as well as cross-border mandates and negotiated debt modifications, re-financings, recapitalizations, bridge loans, exit financing, equity issuances/subscriptions, debt-to-equity exchanges, and all forms of distressed M&A transactions. We also have comprehensive experience with specialized proceedings for financial institutions under the Winding-up and Restructuring Act.
