Orrick's Restructuring group is a national leader that delivers winning results to its clients. We represent lenders, creditors and investors in bankruptcy and restructuring matters across a number of industries, including financial services, automotive, airline and transportation, consumer products, energy, media and telecommunications, healthcare, technology, municipal finance, hospitality and gaming, real estate, manufacturing and mining.

Our lawyers have experience at every phase of a bankruptcy and restructuring matter and know how to effectively position a client to control opposition and maximize results. Our areas of focus include:

• Lenders, agents and lender groups with in-court and out-of-court restructurings
• Investors with the purchase and sale of distressed assets and debt
• Creditors and creditor committees in bankruptcy proceedings
• Fiduciaries for claimant committees
• Cities and large creditors in bankruptcy proceedings and the restructuring of municipal obligations

We also handle complex litigation and out-of-court enforcement actions arising from creditor and debtor disputes and have appeared in Bankruptcy Courts, U.S. District Courts and state courts nationwide.

The Restructuring team works closely with Orrick lawyers in the many other practice areas and disciplines that are routinely involved in restructuring and bankruptcy matters.

Being part of a large team of lawyers enables the group to provide clients with quick, insightful advice in specialized areas such as M&A, employment, finance, real estate, securities and tax. This depth allows us to think outside the box, provide innovative solutions and react quickly when issues arise.
