Financial Restructuring
Complexity, meet clarity
Default and restructuring situations can be contentious. We help management teams, boards, issuers, creditors, insolvency practitioners, judicial managers, turnaround managers and trustees to lower the temperature and protect brand value.
We draw on our deep experience in finance, law and journalism — and our experience with complex restructurings across the globe — to reduce tensions and maintain stakeholder confidence. We streamline communications to sustain “normal course” operations and help clients anticipate stakeholder reactions early on. Our stakeholder strategies are designed to build alignment and reinforce confidence in the long-term viability of the business.
Our extensive relationships with media, commentators and experts help us advance narratives that further your legal and financial goals. Jurisdiction can play a decisive role in shaping outcomes. As the leading global restructuring communications practice, we offer deep expertise in U.S. bankruptcy law as well as international regimes, and we account for regional and cultural stakeholder dynamics across global markets.
We have experts across the U.S., U.K., Europe and Asia, and across sectors, including retail, energy, media and financial services. Our team has supported many of the most high-profile restructurings in recent years – particularly in sectors such as industrials and healthcare.
From statutory processes such as negotiations with co-determination bodies to escalating conflicts like strikes or campaigns, we develop understanding across stakeholders, from customers and suppliers to employees and corporate leaders.
