With an increasingly strong London presence sitting alongside a sizeable regional and international footprint, the ‘approachable and hardworking’ team at Squire Patton Boggs is well-equipped to manage both domestic and cross-border matters, providing comprehensive restructuring and formal insolvency services to investors, debtors, creditors, and office holders. As part of a broad offering which includes advice on balance sheet restructurings and formal insolvencies, Charlotte Møller excels in advising on the enforcement of security over UK assets, particularly as it relates to non-performing loans (NPLs). Leeds-based John Alderton co-heads the team alongside Møller, and has good traction among IPs and lenders on mid-market domestic insolvency matters.
