O’Melveny’s skilled restructuring litigators help clients navigate complex and often contentious restructuring and insolvency matters with deep trial and appellate court experience at the federal and state court levels. Highly regarded by the judiciary and our peers, we bring a unique combination of litigation and insolvency expertise that can be critical in challenging restructurings.
Our clients include large financial institutions, private investment funds, and major operating companies across a wide range of industries. We often represent private equity and venture capital board members in addressing financially troubled or bankrupt portfolio companies. Our litigators have also represented debtors, senior creditors, insurers, investors, bidders, and lenders in high-profile bankruptcies and taken lead roles in investigations, trials, and other contested proceedings.
In tandem with our restructuring team, we frequently represent clients in situations where the viability of an enterprise or significant investment is at stake. We have also represented clients in a wide gamut of other matters, including cross-border disputes, valuation disputes, enforcement of inter-creditors’ rights and remedies, intellectual property ownership, collective bargaining agreements, and plan confirmation.
Our superior courtroom and negotiating skills not only deliver cost effective victories for our clients, but also bring innovative and strategic settlements at times of impasse.
