London > Finance > Corporate restructuring & insolvency
(Next Generation Partners)Hogan Lovells International LLP has ‘a very commercial approach and is focused on solving problems’ for an impressively broad stakeholder base that includes banks, funds, IPs and corporates. Consequently, the team has excellent knowledge of “what is market”, and is as comfortable handling complex capital structure financial restructurings and special situation mandates, as it is mid-market UK insolvency matters. Tom Astle provides ‘technical and high-quality advice’, which manifests itself in a broad array of restructuring and insolvency matters, including his recent lead role as part of a multi-disciplinary offering for the special administrators of FCA-authorised investment bank and wholesale broker Sova Capital. ‘Commercial and knowledgeable way beyond his years’, James Maltby co-heads the team along with Astle and delivers advice ‘in a calm and collected manner’ for a creditor-focused client base that includes banks and private capital providers. Alex Kay is also a key member of the team and has forged a particularly strong reputation for buy side investors and creditor committees in relation to emerging markets mandates – including a considerable amount with a Ukrainian nexus.
