International Financial Restructuring
Today’s businesses and markets are truly global and, as such, financial distress in economic markets tends to involve increasing levels of cross-border complexity. Companies in financial difficulties need legal advisers with the skills and global reach to match their needs and increase their chances of achieving the best possible outcome.
Recognizing the added complexities inherent in cross-border transactions and the fact that major restructurings are seldom resolved in one jurisdiction, our multidisciplinary team of experienced insolvency and business lawyers in European Union, Latin America and the United States combines an understanding of local markets, insolvency laws and processes in all major jurisdictions related to distressed finance and restructuring to ensure an optimum level of support for our clients in the world’s most important markets.
We have also developed invaluable local market knowledge by advising governments in updating of their insolvency laws including our involvement in the complete and historic overhaul of the Czech Republic’s insolvency laws, which went into effect in January 2008.
Our lawyers are experienced professionals who are accustomed to traveling to varied locations to render on-the-ground, real-time advice to clients in all aspects of distressed finance, whether those needs are refinancing or recapitalizations in distressed circumstances, restructuring, distressed mergers, acquisitions or divestitures. We have represented clients in transactions in more than 20 counties worldwide, bringing our international experience to international and local matters.
