White & Case LLP

The ‘top-quality’ team at White & Case LLP delivers ’solutions to some of the most complex restructuring issues in the market’ for creditors and debtors across EMEA, with a robust presence in emerging markets and the US. Led by the vastly experienced Christian Pilkington, the scope of the work is broad, covering all aspects of restructuring—from balance sheet reorganizations and special situations to formal insolvency proceedings. Drawing upon vast technical knowledge – including in the context of UK schemes of arrangements and restructuring plans – as well as benefiting from strong commercial instincts, Pilkington has been involved in many high-profile mandates, particularly on the corporate front, including on the closely watched Adler matter. Combining ‘strong technical capabilities’ with a ’hands on and practical approach’, Ben Davies is a popular choice among debtors, creditors and investors on complex cross-border mandates where he works collaboratively with lawyers from across international offices and practice areas. Morvyn Radlow and ‘up-and-coming partner’ Will Stoner are also key members of the team, with both also excelling at advising credit funds investing into distressed finance structures.
