Restructuring

Walkers plays a key role in restructurings and reorganisations (many of which are high-profile) in both potential and actual insolvency scenarios as well as non-insolvent transactions.  Our dedicated team of lawyers advises on all aspects of restructurings and reorganisations including complex cross-border financial and corporate restructurings, debt to equity swaps, distressed debt, asset finance and capital market products both in and out of court. We represent a broad range of stakeholders including debtors, directors, creditors (including senior and mezzanine creditors and bondholders), shareholders and investors (such as pension companies, hedge funds and private equity houses) and we work closely with onshore lawyers, accountancy firms and financial advisors including investment banks. Our expertise enables us to provide our clients with effective legal, practical and commercial advice on this broad and dynamic field, often on an expedited basis.  Walkers is the only premier offshore firm with a truly full restructuring capability, enabling us to deal with transactional and contentious restructurings through one team of experts which can effectively and expertly deal with complex scenarios as they evolve and develop.
