Restructuring and Insolvency

Restructuring and Insolvency

We'll help you meet the challenges and minimise the risks associated with distressed and insolvent situations.

Our Restructuring and Insolvency team has a prominent, and in many ways unique, market position.  We are consistently instructed on highly significant domestic and international transactional, advisory and litigation mandates.  But, in addition, we can also act as conflict counsel in the banking sector where other panel-led firms may be unable to do so.

Our team contains in-depth experience and expertise across the full range of restructuring and insolvency services.  That includes advising not only on financial restructurings, corporate turnarounds and insolvencies, but also domestic special situations, recapitalisations, fundraisings, private credit market and direct lending mandates.  

And we have experience in advising all types of affected stakeholders (both companies and individuals) across a broad range of business sectors and markets, including, in recent years, oil & gas, financial services, aviation, real estate, leisure and consumer finance.  We have particular recent expertise in matters involving distressed retail.

We are able to draw on specialist teams in-house to ensure you get the sector-specific advice you need. These teams include highly-ranked lawyers in the fields of banking and finance, corporate, commercial, real estate, funds, employment and insurance, all of whom have substantial experience in acting on high-profile insolvency and restructuring matters.

Where we need to work alongside lawyers in other jurisdictions, we are part of the TerraLex network and have access to over 125 law firms in more than 100 jurisdictions across the globe.

Whether the matter is contentious or non-contentious, formal or informal, transactional, advisory or investigatory, we can help.
