Romain advises creditors and debtors on the various stages of restructuring and insolvency proceedings, specifically financial institutions and large organisations on implementing changes to their debt, capital and corporate structures. I also advise clients who wants to purchase distressed companies or assets in the course of insolvency proceedings.

He has a strong experience in advising creditors on debt restructurings, especially with respect to troubled LBOs.
