London > Finance > Corporate restructuring & insolvency
(Leading individuals)Leveraging ‘excellent experience on the restructuring side, combined with a strong understanding of the markets and an innovative approach’, Weil, Gotshal & Manges (London) LLP is a popular choice among debtors and creditors in many of the highest-profile mandates in the market, both from a corporate restructuring perspective, as well as on formal insolvencies. The versatility of the team was further enhanced in June 2022 by the arrival of Lois Deasey from Akin, a practitioner who is as comfortable handling complex bondholder work as she is advising debtors. The team is co-headed by Neil Devaney and Andrew Wilkinson , who are both able to impart considerable wisdom and commercial nous on sophisticated cross-border mandates involving complex layers of debt and are well-versed at implementing restructurings both through European processes as well as US Chapter 11. Mark Lawford is ‘very strong’ at handling formal insolvency matters including in the context of demanding insolvency litigation matters. Gemma Sage is also recommended.
