Restructuring (including bankruptcy): corporate

Upon the successful merger, the team at Hogan Lovells Cadwalader works closely with US, UK and European funds and creditors on US bankruptcy matters, including Chapter 11 bankruptcies, litigation and various other restructuring issues. New York-based co-head Gregory Petrick counsels syndicates, distressed investors, private credit funds and regulators in relation to various cross-border transactions, and other co-head Douglas Mintz, who joined from McDermott Will & Schulte, focuses on acting for creditors in liability management transactions and special situations, splitting time between Washington DC and New York.

Ron has very effectively brought in his corporate finance colleagues in the us, and colleagues in other jurisdictions and then coordinated their efforts and our interactions with Hogan. They understand our business and interests and the role as indenture trustee and agent we have in the transactions they have represented us on. They have then tailored their service and approach.’

  • ‘Ronald Silverman is the key partner representing us on restructuring/insolvency matters. He has represented us on complex international restructurings, effectively marshalling the in-firm resources necessary to represent us. He is thoughtful and creative, while being commercial. He quickly assesses situations and identifies options and recommended course of action where this is useful. I feel confident when Ron is representing us.’
