Morgan Lewis Stamford LLC’s team is proficient in corporate debt restructurings, alongside other contentious mandates, with additional expertise in special situations matters, ranging from rescue financings, workouts and distressed transactions to white knight situations. The team primarily represents creditors in court proceedings, including secured and unsecured creditors, subordinated creditors, equity sponsors, executory contract counter-parties and official creditors’ committees.
