Sidley Austin LLP

Under the leadership of Jifree Cader and Mark Knight, Sidley Austin LLP has achieved considerable success acting as a standalone team as well as by effectively leveraging other key practice areas and international offices at the firm. This is best exemplified by its continued work for beleaguered Chinese real estate companies, where the team works alongside the firm's Hong Kong capital markets practice which advised on the original high-yield debt issuances now in need of restructuring in light of market conditions. The team is also active in UK and European situations, where as well as company-side work it also regularly acts for distressed investors and creditors.
