Kevin GahanMatheson LLP

Matheson LLP is a significant force in contentious and non-contentious corporate restructuring and insolvency. The firm is close to a number of key insolvency practitioners, along with major creditors, investment funds and distressed investors. It has continued to represent clients in headline examinerships, liquidations and out of court rescue processes; this includes acting for an ad hoc committee of holders of guaranteed unsecured notes in connection with the Mallinckrodt Chapter 11 proceedings and subsequent examinership. Tony O’Grady is at the pinnacle of the market, with Brendan Colgan and Julie Murphy-O’Connor also having excellent reputations. Kevin Gahan has a blossoming reputation and is very much amongst the team’s ‘stand out performers‘.
