Restructuring and insolvency

We partner with all sides to navigate complex financial distress situations with commercially focused solutions that preserve business continuity and unlock opportunity.
Our experienced team advises clients on out-of-court refinancing and voluntary restructuring negotiations—including pre-pack solutions—as well as formal insolvency proceedings. We represent clients also in insolvency-related disputes such as claw-back claims, director and board liability cases, and damage claims.
In distressed M&A, we support identifying, structuring, and executing transactions involving financially troubled assets or businesses.
