(Leading individuals)Forming an integral part of the firm’s blue-chip corporate and banking offerings, Slaughter and May‘s ‘exceptional’ restructuring team is best-known for its ability to provide ‘top-notch advice on large and complex UK situations’. In this context, the team, which is led by the ‘experienced, hardworking and smart’ Ian Johnson, is particularly accomplished at handling work in listed situations, both for Plcs as debtors, as well as acquirers of distressed debt. Johnson is also adept at handling work for beleaguered retail financial services entities in the unique challenges faced with their insolvencies, as well as frequently being used as a sounding board for central governments and central banks. The ‘extremely experienced’ Tom Vickers is ‘calm in a crisis’ and has a versatile practice that also includes some creditor work for banking clients. At an associate level, Evelyn Fleming is ‘technically strong and has great case management skills’.
