Debt restructuring

Dealing with the finance arrangements of businesses in difficulty is a core strength of our finance team.

We have represented lenders and borrowers alike, and have been involved in the restructuring of more than a few credit arrangements of companies facing financial distress, helping many of them to avoid imminent default.  When assisting in financial restructuring projects, we seek to find common ground between lenders and borrowers to remove the possibility of default and the resulting insolvency and, instead, find a mutually satisfactory resolution that avoids the pain that insolvency brings with it.
