Restructuring

Successfully navigating distressed situations requires lawyers who not only know the law, but also understand your business. Our team has seen and done it all, having worked on cases from every side of the docket. We also get to know your business inside and out so we can chart a path of practical solutions to achieve your objectives. With a national presence and a deep bench in every area of restructuring, we’ll become a natural extension of your experienced and focused in-house team and a go-to source for advice and counsel on the things that matter most to your success.

We’re a one-stop shop, handling issues in large and complex out-of-court restructurings and Chapter 11 reorganization cases for both debtors and lenders. Clients rely on our deep understanding of the day-to-day operational and financial issues impacting their companies as well as the economic and political trends that affect virtually every industry, including oil and gas, real estate, metals and mining, manufacturing, distribution, transportation, healthcare, homebuilding, restaurant and retail, and technology. We take the time to understand the dynamics of the reorganization process from each constituent's point of view to achieve the best outcome.

Our clients include more than 100 Fortune 500 companies, many major foreign companies and large financial institutions. Our strengths include:

• Advising boards of directors of distressed and failing companies
