Financial Restructuring

Overcoming debt is difficult even in the best of times. In a crisis, we help you explore options, safeguard interests and maximize opportunities. Baker & McKenzie offers broad global resources and extensive local experience to help you act quickly, soundly and decisively in times of crisis.

Working in dedicated, fully integrated teams, our more than 200 lawyers in 46 countries can develop and execute coordinated cross-border solutions with a speed and ease few can match. Using a holistic approach, we draw on local and multidisciplinary skills to provide seamless advice on all aspects of restructuring and insolvency as well as critical tax, employment and corporate issues.

We are recognized for providing swift and pragmatic assistance on a worldwide basis, including in many emerging markets and troubled economies. For decades we have helped a variety of clients address considerable financial difficulties in dealings with debt crises around the world. Our lawyers have represented creditors, corporate debtors or investors in some of the largest and most complex international restructurings and insolvencies. We have facilitated turnarounds and settlements of all types, helped raise capital to prevent costly defaults, and assisted in disposing or acquiring assets in ways that protect and preserve value. And while disputes are inevitable, our track record in resolving them is among the world's best.
