Our team advises companies, financial institutions, bondholders, trustees and other clients in major restructuring exercises. We have extensive experience from insolvency and enforcement processes in a wide range of jurisdictions, including Norway, the US, UK, Singapore, and work closely with our dispute resolution group when cases turn contentious.
