Corporate Restructuring
Overview
With dedicated attorneys across the United States and in London, Faegre Drinker’s corporate restructuring team has been active in some of the world’s largest and most complex restructurings and insolvencies.
Unlike most other practices, we represent all constituents in bankruptcy and restructuring matters — debtors, lenders and secured creditors, committees, trade creditors, bondholders, indenture trustees, boards of directors, insolvency office holders, investors, receivers, private investment funds, and distressed asset purchasers — and can provide you with practical advice and rare insight on the motivations of adversaries and counterparties.
We have a broad and diverse range of experience in developing innovative and effective strategies that address the highly nuanced and complex issues that arise in connection with in- and out-of-court reorganizations, restructurings, workouts, and liquidations. We have a well-earned reputation as one of the most experienced teams in cross-border restructuring and insolvency, with matters spanning the globe and impacting multiple jurisdictions.
Faegre Drinker’s corporate restructuring team has extensive experience representing clients in a wide range of industries — many with unique and complex legal issues. We regularly represent clients in energy, mass tort, agribusiness, health care, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, automotive, aviation, higher education, and real estate industry restructurings.
