How we can help

Our team supports bondholders, lenders, investors, debtors, shareholders, creditors, distressed companies and their management, and principal stakeholders with assistance and tailor-made advice in restructuring and insolvency situations.

Financing solutions are multiplying and the legal implications relating to financial products are becoming more complex.
The need to raise funds for growth is essential for most companies and financial institutions.
Our litigation teams focus on the most appropriate form of dispute resolution, in and outside of court, from arbitration to mediation. Always looking for the best possible outcome.
As an international organisation, you face many challenges, from ever-changing regulations to complex cross-border transactions and beyond.
