Our team has extensive experience handling financial and operational restructurings with a cross-jurisdictional dynamic. We are adept at providing solutions both in and out of court, including debt rescheduling, creditor compromise procedures, liability management, debt-to-equity swaps, and distressed M&A transactions.
We frequently collaborate with local counsel, regulators, and financial advisors to ensure seamless execution of complex, cross-border strategies. Our experience spans North America, Europe, Asia, and emerging markets, enabling us to anticipate challenges unique to each jurisdiction and deliver solutions that protect value while minimizing disruption.

Managing Fiduciary Risks in Distressed Situations
We provide counsel to boards of directors and senior management on how to navigate fiduciary duties, manage conflicts, and protect the company’s long-term value during restructuring or distressed situations.
