Our team delivers targeted, commercial advice, leveraging our insight in finance, corporate, litigation, and sector-specific issues to help clients achieve their business and legal objectives while mitigating risk.
Restructuring and insolvency is never standard – there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and at Reed Smith we take pride in helping our clients know the options available to them. Our experience in all types of complex financial and operational restructurings and insolvency proceedings give us a well-rounded viewpoint from which to create tailored solutions and provide advice that considers the position of the company, stakeholders, the market, and suppliers.
Our team is well positioned to guide clients through local and cross-border restructuring and insolvency matters. Clients benefit from our pairing of local courtroom and regulatory experience with a commercial mindset: quick, decisive recommendations, playbooks for operational and reputational risk, and practice execution that balances speed with preservation of value. We focus on complex financial restructurings, workouts, and insolvency cases, and other matters involving financially distressed companies and transactions. In the high-risk environment of insolvency and restructuring, our clients benefit from our commitment to delivering pragmatic, valuable advice and results.
We blend cross-border legal depth with sector know-how to protect value, preserve business continuity, and unlock options – from out-of-court restructurings and debt workouts to formal insolvency proceedings, distressed M&A, and complex creditor-control strategies. Clients benefit from a single coordinated team that translates local procedural detail into a seamless, jurisdiction-aware plan.
