Sarah Mook > Linklaters LLP > London, England > Lawyer Profile

Co-led from London by Nick Le Masurier and Richard Hodgson, and with access to ‘a market leading, full service Magic Circle practice and global footprint’, Linklaters LLP is well-positioned to handle resource intensive big-ticket multi-jurisdictional restructurings/insolvencies for a varied range of stakeholders, including lenders, funds and corporates. The team has ‘fantastic breadth of and strength in depth’, advising across the spectrum of contentious and non-contentious work, ranging from formal insolvencies through to balance sheet restructurings and distressed M&A. The ‘very smart’ Matthew Harding recently advised the administrators of failed energy supplier Bulb Energy Limited in relation to its sale to Octopus Energy, implemented using a novel energy transfer scheme. The ‘proactive and smart’ Sarah Mook , who spent a considerable number years in-house at Goldman Sachs, has a ‘unique perspective on financing issues, lender behaviour and problem solving’, which she deploys very effectively for debtors on complex balance sheet restructurings.
