United States > Finance > Restructuring (including bankruptcy): corporate
Ropes & Gray LLP‘s growing restructuring practice acts for an array of borrower, sponsor and creditor clients in in-court and out-of-court debt restructurings, corporate reorganizations, and liability management transactions for large and middle-market companies. It represented Exactech, a portfolio company of longstanding client TPG Capital, in connection with its Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. Along with its reputation as a private equity heavyweight, the firm is also noted for creditor engagements, including for ad hoc creditor groups and lenders. New York and Chicago-based Ryan Preston Dahl chairs the business restructuring group and is widely credited with the expansion of the practice, particularly through the firm’s private equity clients. The team also includes senior figures Chris Dickerson in Chicago and Gregg Galardi, with Natasha Hwangpo, Daniel Gwen, Cristine Schwarzman and Matthew Roose also being key figures. Named individuals are based in New York unless stated otherwise.
