Linklaters’ restructuring and insolvency practice frequently advises on multi-jurisdictional mandates that sit at the intersection of Dutch, UK and US restructuring regimes. The team is particularly well-regarded for steering high-value corporate rescues and complex financial restructurings, often involving parallel or sequential processes across borders. Paul Kuipers leads the team and is widely recognised for his depth of expertise across the full spectrum of restructuring matters. Marc Noldus plays an important role across both contentious and non-contentious matters, acting in significant litigation as well as advising on cross-border restructuring frameworks.
