Ben Davies > White & Case LLP > London, England > Lawyer Profile

Combining ‘technical knowledge with commercial nuance’, White & Case LLP provides ‘top quality restructuring legal advice’ for debtors and creditors on a myriad complicated cross-border situations, where it is also effectively able to leverage resources across its vast international network of offices. On the debtor front, clients not only benefit from the firm’s core substantive restructuring law expertise but also the team’s ability to provide a multi-disciplinary offering which draws upon other key practice areas including corporate, banking and litigation. ‘A leader in his field’, team head Christian Pilkington ‘has an uncanny ability to identify and resolve the most complex issues‘, and has been at the forefront of many of the firm’s marquee debtor side mandates, including for cinema chain Vue International on its successful recapitalisation which involved a substantial debt-for-equity swap. The ‘personable and technically strong’ Ben Davies was also involved in the aforementioned matter, work which followed on from his key role on the recently completed Swissport restructuring. Morvyn Radlow and Will Stoner are ‘technically excellent, very responsive and approachable’, with both gaining particular acclaim for their work on behalf of credit funds. Ian Wallace departed the practice in August 2024.
