The ‘switched on and client friendly’ team at Jones Day acts on its own, as well as at times alongside practitioners from across the firm’s global network, to ’seamlessly deliver work product’ for creditors, investors, debtors and officeholders across a wide range of domestic and cross-border transactional and contentious matters. Drawing upon ‘an excellent marriage of legal analysis with commercial strategy’, team head Ben Larkin is very adept at advising on complex restructuring mandates, involving debt throughout the capital structure, including an increasing amount for private equity funds, both for portfolio clients as well as in the context of distressed opportunities. David Harding also handles a considerable amount of fund work and excels in advising debtors and creditors utilising European insolvency processes. The ’commercially astute’ Adam Brown is very skilled at handling insolvency litigation and has, in recent years, handled a number of high-profile cases for administrators/liquidators in the retail sector. Hannah Plumb, who was recently on maternity leave, is also recommended.
