Financial Restructuring

Milbank’s Financial Restructuring Practice group has a track record of demonstrated leadership in Chapter 11 cases and corporate restructurings both in the United States and abroad. Milbank is an international law firm with approximately 630 lawyers providing legal services to major financial, commercial and industrial institutions.  According to Business Week magazine, Milbank is “the leading specialist in the representation of creditors.”  We have consistently ranked among the most prestigious firms representing debtors and creditors' committees in The American Lawyer’s Bankruptcy Corporate Scorecard. Four partners (Greg Bray, Luc Despins, Dennis Dunne and Bob Moore) are listed in the K&A Registry of the top restructuring advisors in the country. 

In U.S. bankruptcy and reorganization matters, Milbank frequently represents
official and ad hoc committees of creditors, as well as individual financial institutions, equity security holders, and Chapter 11 debtors-in-possession. We also represent entities interested in acquiring troubled companies or their assets.  The Financial Restructuring Group includes seven partners and more than thirty associates and senior attorneys in our New York and Los Angeles offices.  Our resources and considerable experience positions us as a leading force in the restructuring business and brings an extra dimension to the representation of clients undergoing complex restructurings.  In each matter, our objective is to apply our superior talent and experience  — the elements of sound advice in a financial crisis — to help our clients develop business solutions that create, preserve and distribute value.

Our expertise in the areas of bankruptcy, transportation finance, corporate finance, bank finance, project finance, structured finance, leasing, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, tax and intellectual property, as well as telecommunications, energy, utilities, gaming, and other industry specializations, is often crucial to Milbank’s ability to provide distinctive service.  As a full-service law firm, we can draw quickly on the capabilities of highly experienced practitioners in each of these areas.
