Practice Areas

Bruce Bell, EMEA Chair of the Restructuring & Special Situations Practice, advises a range of stakeholders on lending, restructuring, and insolvency matters, including borrowers/debtors, sponsors/equity holders, and lenders/creditors.

He has been one of the leading practitioners of English law creditor schemes of arrangement in recent years, both for restructuring troubled businesses and for providing consumer compensation in retail financial services.

He focuses particularly on cross-border debt restructurings, and has been involved in many of the most high-profile restructurings in Europe since the global financial crisis.

In 2010, Bruce was seconded to BP as treasury counsel to assist with the financial consequences of the Deepwater Horizon incident. In 2001, he was seconded to Barclays Capital to work in the bank’s leveraged finance team. His knowledge of debt documentation and debt capital structures combined with his exposure to crisis management and restructuring situations in large publicly listed corporates, makes him a versatile and experienced practitioner and someone who has a reputation for solving some of the most difficult problems for clients.
