Our world-class reputation is built on our track record in restructuring and insolvency, expertise in banking and finance, and ability to provide practical and commercial solutions. Our work extends beyond England and Wales, with members regularly appearing in courts and tribunals around the world, including the Caribbean, Bermuda, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore.
