Leveraging strong traction among IPs and the firm’s institutional funds clients, the ‘exceptionally bright team’ at Macfarlanes LLP continues to pick a significant pipeline of both transactional centred restructuring work and formal insolvency mandates. ’Very accomplished’ team head Jat Bains provides ‘practical advice’ to stakeholders across a range of restructuring-related matters, including as it relates to distressed M&A opportunities for investors and providing strategic advice to private credit funds as creditors in distressed situations. The ’very skilled’ Paul Keddie is the principal contact for formal insolvency work and as well as regularly handling work for officeholders has also picked a considerable amount of debtor-side work in the retail space, including numerous situations that have utilised the restructuring plan.
