Most restructuring engagements are complex and require a significant amount of creativity, so we work with our clients and their financial professionals to develop strategies that advance their business interests as well as preserve and create value.

We do this by working with all parties to identify opportunities and risks and to deliver innovative strategies to achieve our clients’ goals - and, where and when necessary, we coordinate our expertise with the expertise of other practice groups such as Corporate, Banking, Real Estate, Construction, Employment, Intellectual Property, Disputes, and Tax.
