The global recession that followed the 2008/09 banking collapse has left many companies with shrinking asset values and debt burdens so heavy they hold out little or no chance of repayment. Despite signs of recovery in many economies, most commentators believe that corporates will face troubled times for a number of years to come.

Hogan Lovells’ Business Restructuring and Insolvency (BRI) practice is well placed to advise corporates and their stakeholders on their options. Our team comprises highly experienced lawyers based in the financial hubs of Europe, the Middle East, Asia, North America, and South America. We are supported on every transaction by leading individuals from across the firm in key areas such as capital markets, litigation, real estate, employment, intellectual property, and pensions.

We advise a wide variety of stakeholders in restructuring and insolvency cases, including distressed borrowers; senior, junior, and subordinated debt providers; shareholders; directors; trustees; and suppliers to a distressed borrower. We also act for investors looking to buy into a distressed situation at either the debt or equity level. Our team has great experience in all formal insolvency procedures, whether used as part of a work-out or as an exit solution for a distressed corporate.
