Global Restructuring Review (GRR), the only news and analysis service focused on cross-border restructuring and insolvency law, has once again recognized Squire Patton Boggs among the world’s leading law firms for restructuring and insolvency matters in its prestigious GRR 100.
In its profile, GRR recognized Squire Patton Boggs for “managing complex, multi-jurisdictional restructurings and contentious insolvency matters” and highlighted the firm’s global platform, noting that its restructuring lawyers are “based across 11 offices in the US, UK and France, while the wider practice handles mandates across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Latin America.”
New senior hires into the practice were also highlighted, including New York partners Katherine Catanese and Oksana Lashko and UK partner Deborah Brown.
The publication also highlighted a number of significant matters handled by the firm during the research period, including:
Representing Deutsche Bank in negotiating amendments to transaction documents and managing the required consent process. When issuer Kleopatra subsequently entered Chapter 11, the firm negotiated protections for the bank, including in connection with bankruptcy financing.
Representing the joint liquidators of the Touradji Funds, Cayman Islands-based hedge funds, in Chapter 15 proceedings in New York to recover US assets, including US$60 million held by a bank. The firm also assists in challenging indemnification claims exceeding US$100 million by fund manager Paul Touradji in related Cayman proceedings.
Advising BDO’s administrators of Tailormade Logistics UK, an ecommerce and logistics operator providing transport services, on the administration, including debtor claims and its cross-border distribution network.
Defending City Squared Property and its directors against claims assigned by Guide Education's liquidator to Manolete Partners.
The GRR 100 is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative benchmarks of excellence in the global restructuring and insolvency market. Selection is based on extensive independent research assessing firms' expertise, the complexity of their matters, the quality and depth of their teams, and their performance in major cross-border engagements.
Squire Patton Boggs maintains one of the largest global restructuring and insolvency practices in the legal industry, with more than 130 lawyers across 36 offices in 15 countries collaborating on domestic and cross-border matters. Over the past decade, the team has represented parties in insolvency proceedings spanning more than two dozen countries worldwide.
