Companies in financial difficulties need legal advisers with the skills to mirror their own needs and increase their chances of achieving the best possible outcome. Clients of our restructuring and insolvency team benefit from the combined expertise of our corporate, finance, tax, insurance and litigation groups.
We have a mixed client base of debtors, creditors and insolvency practitioners and we also act for buyers of businesses in financial distress.
Our restructuring and insolvency team offers a comprehensive service that includes:
- debt rescheduling
- workouts
- bond restructurings
- rescue rights issues
- disposals
- dispute resolution
- corporate investigations and related litigation
Market leading transactions include Metronet, TXU, the nationalisation of Bradford & Bingley, MG Rover, Federal Mogul, Boxclever, Heath Lambert and Independent Insurance. We have built up particular expertise working for clients in connection with restructurings and insolvencies which may become contentious. Clients include Ernst & Young, PwC, Bank of Scotland, Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs.
Our restructuring and insolvency experts regularly team up with lawyers at Gleiss Lutz and Stibbe through our European restructuring and insolvency group, enabling us to provide a pan-European service to tackle cross-border issues. Increasingly we also work with US firms for US clients based in Europe.
