Stephenson Harwood

Drawing upon a cohesive offering across restructuring, litigation and fraud, Stephenson Harwood is well-positioned to advise stakeholders on all issues arising in connection with financial distress, restructuring, and insolvency. ‘Very proactive’ team head Julian Cahn is key to the firm’s success on contentious insolvency matters and regularly picks up high-profile work for administrators and trustees in bankruptcy in often very complex cases involving, inter alia, allegations of fraud and dissipation of assets. The ’practical and pragmatic’ Tal Goldsmith is also highly skilled at advising on contentious matters and is particularly noted for her expertise at recovering assets for clients on large-scale cross-border mandates. For non-contentious work, the ‘fast thinking’ Ian Benjamin has a good standing among a myriad stakeholders, including creditors and investors, while the arrival of Daniel Andrews from Triton Partners in September 2024 strengthens the team’s special situations prowess among private capital providers.
