Since the early 1980s, Brown Rudnick’s Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructuring Group has been among the pioneers representing high-yield investors and fund managers - international industry players that have brought an unprecedented level of financial sophistication, innovation and aggressiveness to bankruptcy cases and debt restructurings.

By offering a complementary legal perspective - characterized by high-level experience; focused, creative strategies; and an interdisciplinary staffing approach - we have assisted this constituency in reshaping the dynamics of insolvency and financial distress.

Over the past two decades, the breadth of our practice has expanded to serve a wide range of clients in the restructuring arena. Today, with bankruptcy lawyers in the US and UK, our Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructuring Practice Group has a proud record and reputation, nationally and internationally, as one of the leading bankruptcy practices. Illustrating this profile, Brown Rudnick was a recent recipient of The Hedge Fund Journal US Awards 2008 for our work done in the field of bankruptcy & corporate restructuring. Leveraging our existing profile, our London office focuses on corporate reorganizations in Europe.

We have successfully represented an impressive list of official and ad hoc committees, general unsecured creditors, equity holders and other central parties in interest in many of the largest and most complex Chapter 11 cases and out of court proceedings.

We also offer significant incremental value to institutional and private investors and fund managers in structuring, negotiating, and documenting secondary market transactions involving high-yield securities, as well as other claims trading activities. With a general focus on the current financial crisis both in the US and the UK, we are actively monitoring developments in new legislation and fiscal policy.

We are seasoned attorneys acting as forceful watchdogs and advocates for our clients whose interests are very often in the most jeopardy in a restructuring. Well known for our successes in the “hard cases,” we pride ourselves on our passion, innovation, creativity and drive to fashion results that exceed client expectations.

Combining the benefits of our experience and talents in the US, UK and Europe, our Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructuring Practice Group offers clients key strengths. Stated simply, in the US alone, we have represented more official and ad hoc committees, over a longer period of time, in larger, more complex cases, with better results than virtually any other firm.
