Haynes Boone today received the Restructuring Deal of the Year award from International Financial Law Review (IFLR) for the firm’s work involving Houston-based McDermott International Inc. and Japanese joint venture partner Chiyoda International Corp.
The award was announced during the IFLR Americas Awards Ceremony, which recognizes the most legally innovative cross-border transactions that closed in 2020. IFLR researched a record-breaking number of submissions from banks and law firms across the region.
The Haynes Boone award recognizes Partner Charlie Beckham, team lead, who was supported by Partners Kenric Kattner, Brad Richards, and Kelli Norfleet, Counsel Kourtney Lyda, and Associates Valisa Berber-Thayer and Martha Wyrick.
Haynes Boone represented Chiyoda after McDermott filed for Chapter 11 in 2020 with plans to reorganize its business. Chiyoda is a global engineering and construction services company experienced in the design of petroleum refining, gas processing and petrochemicals plants, while McDermott is a multinational engineering group.
McDermott announced a comprehensive pre-packaged restructuring plan designed to eliminate more than U.S. $4.6 billion of debt. The restructuring plan was approved by the court in July 2020.
