Restructuring + Insolvency

When a business is under financial stress, sound legal advice and support in restructuring or re-capitalising can be crucial to help secure a business’ future.

Advising financial institutions, developers, sponsors, creditors’ committees and agencies, our specialist Restructuring + Insolvency team works with clients on all aspects of complex reorganisations and workouts (both formal and informal).

We have decades of combined experience advising and acting in relation to disputes and applications arising in all sectors, including construction and infrastructure, mining and resources, agriculture and transport.

We also regularly act for lenders, borrowers, investors and directors, as well as many leading insolvency practitioners, in relation to all types of external administrations.
