Our Bankruptcy & Insolvency Litigation team stands at the center of the most significant disputes arising from financial distress, restructurings, and Chapter 11 proceedings. We help clients anticipate, navigate—and win—high-stakes litigation across the full spectrum of insolvency-related disputes, combining market-leading bankruptcy, restructuring, finance, investigations, and trial capabilities in a single integrated team.

Our lawyers represent lenders, ad hoc creditor groups, financial institutions, sponsors, and boards and their special committees in complex litigation that often defines the trajectory of restructurings and distressed transactions. We engage early to assess risk, position transactions to withstand scrutiny, and shape outcomes before disputes arise. When litigation becomes unavoidable, we serve as courtroom advocates in the country’s most consequential insolvency-related matters.

Our practice is at the forefront of investigations and litigation arising from liability management transactions and other market-shaping restructurings, where we both defend execution decisions and help our clients position deals to withstand scrutiny. As a result, we are go-to counsel for the most complex distressed D&O and fiduciary duty litigation, defending directors, officers, and sponsors in cases arising from liquidity crises, restructurings, and insolvency proceedings. And in major Chapter 11 cases, we defend parties against significant fraudulent transfer and other avoidance claims, as well as equitable subordination, recharacterization, and successor liability theories.

Our Bankruptcy & Insolvency Litigation team handles the full spectrum of insolvency litigation and investigations – both in and out of court and across borders. Clients rely on us to integrate litigation strategy with deal execution, control the narrative in contested situations, and deliver decisive results in the most complex distressed matters, including:
