1. Restructuring & Insolvency Strategy and Legal Advisory
Comprehensive Guidance for Complex Financial Challenges
Our Restructuring & Insolvency team advises clients through every phase of financial distress—from early-stage liquidity concerns to formal insolvency proceedings. We assess capital structures, negotiate with key stakeholders, and design restructuring plans tailored to preserve enterprise value.
We represent companies across industries, including energy, real estate, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and financial services—each with distinct regulatory and operational pressures.
Restructuring & Insolvency Early Intervention and Turnaround Planning
We help management teams identify warning signs of financial distress and implement turnaround strategies before insolvency becomes inevitable. This may include debt repricing, covenant relief, or targeted divestitures.
Restructuring & Insolvency Stakeholder Negotiation and Mediation
Our lawyers guide clients through complex negotiations with lenders, bondholders, unions, and regulators, ensuring that each party’s interests are reconciled efficiently. We employ mediation and structured dialogue to achieve consensus-driven outcomes that protect long-term value.
2. Restructuring & Insolvency in Out-of-Court Workouts and Refinancing
Practical Solutions that Preserve Confidentiality and Control
Not all restructurings require court intervention. Our Restructuring & Insolvency practice is highly experienced in out-of-court workouts, liability management transactions, and consensual debt restructurings.
We help companies renegotiate debt terms, execute debt-for-equity swaps, amend-and-extend transactions, exchange offers, and bridge financings to stabilize cash flow and restore lender confidence.
Restructuring & Insolvency Debt and Capital Structure Optimization
We evaluate financial instruments to identify cost-saving opportunities, reprice debt, and align maturity schedules with business realities. Our restructuring lawyers collaborate closely with finance and tax advisors to ensure efficiency across jurisdictions.
Restructuring & Insolvency Creditor Engagement and Communication
We assist clients in managing lender syndicates and investor communications, providing transparency while maintaining control of negotiations. Our approach balances speed, discretion, and compliance with regulatory disclosure requirements.
3. Restructuring & Insolvency in Chapter 11 and Formal Proceedings
Navigating Bankruptcy with Precision and Foresight
When court-supervised restructuring becomes necessary, SJKP LLP brings decades of experience to complex bankruptcy cases. Our Restructuring & Insolvency team represents debtors, creditors, committees, and investors in proceedings under Chapter 11, Chapter 15, and other international insolvency regimes.
We help clients develop and confirm reorganization plans, manage debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing, and oversee asset sales or recapitalizations within the bankruptcy process.
Restructuring & Insolvency in Debtor Representation
We guide debtors through all aspects of Chapter 11—structuring petitions, coordinating communications, securing court approvals, and balancing operational continuity with creditor recovery expectations.
Restructuring & Insolvency in Creditor and Committee Representation
We also act for official and ad hoc creditor committees, helping them evaluate debtor conduct, challenge valuations, and negotiate favorable outcomes within court frameworks.
4. Restructuring & Insolvency in Distressed M&A and Asset Sales
Turning Distress into Opportunity
SJKP LLP is a market leader in distressed M&A transactions, representing both buyers and sellers of underperforming or insolvent businesses. Our Restructuring & Insolvency attorneys work seamlessly with M&A, finance, and regulatory teams to execute transactions that unlock value from distressed assets.
We structure §363 sales, pre-packaged plans, and strategic acquisitions to deliver speed and certainty under tight deadlines. For investors, we help assess acquisition risks and navigate successor liability, bidding procedures, and antitrust clearance.

Our team advises on all aspects of bankruptcy auctions—bid qualification, purchase agreements, and court approval—ensuring compliance with the Bankruptcy Code while maximizing recovery for stakeholders.
Restructuring & Insolvency in Cross-Border Distressed Transactions
We assist global investors and creditors in resolving cross-border insolvencies involving conflicting laws, foreign recognition issues, and multi-jurisdictional claims. Our lawyers coordinate with foreign counsel to harmonize procedures and minimize jurisdictional conflicts.
5. Restructuring & Insolvency Litigation and Enforcement
Protecting Rights in Contentious Financial Disputes
Disputes often arise during restructurings, whether over priority claims, fraudulent transfers, or breaches of fiduciary duty. SJKP LLP’s Restructuring & Insolvency litigation team provides aggressive yet strategic advocacy in bankruptcy courts and appellate proceedings.
We prosecute and defend actions related to preferential payments, equitable subordination, lender liability, and breach of contract, ensuring our clients’ interests are protected at every stage.

Our attorneys conduct investigations into fraud, asset diversion, or director misconduct, working with forensic accountants to trace and recover misappropriated assets globally.

We advise creditors on enforcing judgments, foreclosing on collateral, and navigating cross-border collection procedures under recognition frameworks like Chapter 15 and UNCITRAL Model Law provisions.
6. Restructuring & Insolvency and ESG Considerations
Balancing Financial Recovery with Sustainable Accountability
Today’s restructuring landscape increasingly intersects with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. Our Restructuring & Insolvency team helps clients address ESG-related liabilities—such as environmental cleanup costs, workforce obligations, or governance failures—within the restructuring framework.
We integrate sustainability considerations into reorganization plans and post-restructuring strategies, aligning stakeholder interests with responsible business practices.
Restructuring & Insolvency in Environmental and Social Liability Management
We counsel clients on resolving environmental obligations, pension liabilities, and social impact claims, ensuring compliance with both regulatory and investor expectations.
