Sullivan & Cromwell is the firm of choice for the world’s most challenging liability management transactions. Our credentials range from the representation of the issuers in the largest public company liability management transactions ever completed to the representation of institutional investors, private credit providers, private funds, family offices and merchant banking desks in highly bespoke rescue capital investments. We consistently achieve outstanding results for clients because our renowned transactional practice has been built over the years to handle exactly these types of assignments: multidisciplinary matters that move at pace and require a team of lawyers with specific experience, analytical firepower, commercial sense, and the full trust of each other and the client.
In this practice area, personal commitment yields extraordinary results. The partners involved in our Liability Management and Capital Solutions matters are hands-on deal lawyers, who personally master the details and design deal terms. In a typical matter, one or two partners will serve as day-to-day contacts for the client and never leave the client’s side, irrespective of the twists and turns of the representation.
When our clients speak of why we are so different from other law firms, it invariably returns to how an S&C team works together. Every S&C partner leading a Liability Management or Capital Solutions matter will be supported by “first chair” talent in the critical disciplines of leveraged finance, capital markets, tax, restructuring, corporate governance, investigations and civil litigation. We believe no firm has the same quality of legal talent across these disciplines. And we are absolutely certain that no firm has an equivalent internal culture that allows all its talent to be so easily deployed on every Liability Management and Capital Solutions engagement.
