Capital Solutions
& Restructuring

The Capital Solutions & Restructuring Group helps clients navigate complex financial and capital structure challenges, combining the firm’s sophisticated capital solutions experience and market insight with deep restructuring capabilities. We regularly advise key stakeholders in complex and headline-grabbing financings and liability management transactions, workouts and restructurings, providing strategic, commercial advice grounded in decades of experience across rapidly evolving markets and capital structures.

We counsel all constituencies, including companies, equity sponsors, investors, and fulcrum lender and creditor groups, across the full range of out-of-court and in-court restructurings. Our experience includes negotiated out-of-court solutions, corporate reorganizations, chapter 11 and chapter 15 cases, section 363 sales and cross-border restructurings. Clients rely on us for the nuanced, informed solutions-oriented perspective we bring to the most complex of situations—a result of our balanced experience representing every side on out-of-court restructurings and bankruptcies.

Our extensive capital solutions experience includes structuring, negotiating and implementing complex capital solutions across the credit spectrum, including drop-down and double-dip financings, uptier and pari-plus exchanges, discount capture transactions, enhanced carve-out financings, debt-for-equity exchanges, direct-lending transactions (including first and second-lien, unitranche, mezzanine loans, and preferred equity), amendment and extend transactions, and other out-of-court strategies.

We advise on situations where clients need to navigate governance considerations, seek to preserve optionality, stabilize liquidity or reposition their balance sheets without commencing an in-court proceeding. We guide sponsors, issuers, creditors and investors through a broad range of liability management transactions and bespoke financing, equity and hybrid solutions across the capital structure, often in circumstances requiring careful judgment, disciplined execution and close coordination among stakeholders.

We work seamlessly with colleagues across the firm’s finance, capital markets, M&A, private equity, litigation and tax practices. Clients value this integrated multi-disciplinary approach because it enables the group to deliver coordinated solutions-oriented advice in fast-moving and high-stakes situations, whether a matter involves a liability management transaction or comprehensive restructuring.
