Often deploying a multi-disciplinary approach which draws upon expertise from across other practice areas, CMS provides ‘helpful and cost-effective advice’ to a fairly even split of debtors and creditors on restructuring and insolvency matters within the mid to upper-mid market. Traditionally strong for banks as creditors, under the leadership of Martin Brown, the firm also continues to gain market share on behalf of funds, including in the context of special situations and acquirers of NPL portfolios. The ’unflappable’ Glen Flannery is key to much of the firm’s success on the debtor/IP front, where he is appreciated for his ‘commercial’ approach, tactical acumen, detailed knowledge of the law and underlying financial services, pensions and retail sector expertise.
