Sullivan & Cromwell’s award-winning Restructuring and Special Situations practice is pound-for-pound the most successful practice of its type. With six restructuring partners in New York and four internationally, we have had the honor of successfully resolving many of the most complex global chapter 11 cases ever filed (typically at a fraction of the cost expected) and representing distressed investors in the most profitable strategic and loan-to-own acquisitions implemented in chapter 11. The secret to this success is the integration of the Restructuring practice with the rest of S&C and the Firm’s unique ability to bring “first chair” transactional, litigation and regulatory talent to bear in a distressed environment.
Restructuring is the ultimate team sport for lawyers. And no other law firm can mobilize a team like Sullivan & Cromwell because no other law firm has the same combination of talent and trust. S&C’s famous transactional and litigation practices contain many of the leading names of their generations. More importantly, S&C’s celebrated internal culture means that all S&C lawyers are available to assist on every matter as if it were their own. Restructuring clients can harness all of this firepower for every Restructuring assignment, and the differential results achieved for S&C clients have been truly extraordinary.
