Restructuring

Restructuring

Our focus is to find solutions to the issues that clients face in situations of financial difficulty.  We achieve this with a multi-disciplinary approach, with our finance and insolvency lawyers working alongside our corporate lawyers to advise on the most complex corporate restructurings and insolvencies involving British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Irish, Jersey and Luxembourg companies.

Our Restructuring team is uniquely placed to work directly with international counsel and leading insolvency advisers, providing expert legal advice to both debtors and creditors on company restructurings.

We advise on capital and corporate restructurings, formal insolvencies (both contentious and non-contentious), examinerships and receiverships, distressed investments, institutional lender side work, cap table alignment, debt for equity swaps, 'pre-pack' transactions and general contingency planning.

Our Irish team is agile enough to address the needs of innovation driven enterprises (IDEs) and their investors which are very prevalent in the Irish market. We also have the scale and sophistication to advise on the largest restructuring transactions involving Irish headquartered multinationals and large Irish corporate borrowers.

Our mandates extend to advising all constituencies of stakeholders, including:

• Trading and holding companies facing liquidity issues
• Banks
• Alternate lending platforms
• Institutional investors (including private equity, venture capital and hedge funds)
• Insolvency practitioners
• Bondholder committees
• Trade creditors

We also work extensively with management teams in relation to management led rescues and equity incentive arrangements in a restructuring context.
