Clients impacted by distressed situations rely on our know-how to enforce their rights and maximize value. Our deep understanding of pre- and post-insolvency issues from every stakeholder’s perspective enables us to help our clients prevent and prepare for a financial crisis and, when needed, serve as trusted advisors to respond effectively to financial distress.

We provide clients with creative solutions in bankruptcy and restructuring matters that prioritize recovery or return on investment. Because our bankruptcy team works closely with our finance and corporate attorneys, we understand the underpinnings of financial and corporate transactions and offer tools to reduce crises or prevent them from arising.

Our attorneys regularly advise premier financial institutions, institutional investors, private and non-bank lenders, equity sponsors, portfolio companies, debt and equity investors, boards of directors and managers, indenture trustees and other fiduciaries, CMBS special servicers, asset purchasers, insurers, and sureties in connection with a broad variety of restructuring, bankruptcy and insolvency matters. We advise and represent all parts of the capital structure in a wide range of special situations, including distress-related litigation, transactional and governance issues.
