Bankruptcy/Restructuring

Premier Insolvency Practice

We are regularly involved in the most high-profile insolvency matters in the United States and around the world. We represent major creditors and debtors in chapter 11 cases and out-of-court restructurings, and we have an extensive record representing major parties in litigation relating to bankruptcy cases and other debt-related issues.

Recent substantial restructuring engagements can be found here.

Distressed Mergers and Acquisitions

We advise clients on acquisitions and divestitures of businesses in financial distress and other strategic transactions involving debtor-creditor issues, bringing to bear the full expertise of both our restructuring and our preeminent mergers and acquisitions practices. We regularly represent buyers in “section 363” bankruptcy sales, as well as debt investors in change-of-control transactions both in chapter 11 and out of court.

We wrote the book on Distressed M&A.

Leaders in Liability Management

Our firm has advised companies, financial sponsors and investors in connection with many of the most high-profile liability management transactions in recent years, including Envision, Travelport and Mitel.
