Sullivan & Cromwell’s renowned Bankruptcy Litigation & Investigations practice has achieved outstanding results in Bankruptcy Court for debtors, creditors, plan administrators and third-party plaintiffs and defendants. Our success results from the synergistic combination of elite debtor-side restructuring talent with world-class Federal court trial lawyers and crisis-hardened investigation teams, a combination that is seamless at S&C because of our internal culture of teamwork and collaboration. Every Bankruptcy Litigation client has access to the entire breadth and depth of S&C’s Litigation group, as well as the Street’s leading civil and criminal investigation practices. Our bench is strong and deep, and we will never be outgunned.
Our Bankruptcy Litigation & Investigations practice handles a wide variety of matters, with particular focus on chapter 11 plan litigation and related appeals, adversary proceedings in Chapter 11 and Chapter 15, and investigations of pre-chapter 11 transactions by special committees and plan administrators. Matters typically involve partners from our Restructuring group as well as partners from our general litigation and investigations practice, many of whom have spent a significant part of their recent careers on Bankruptcy Court matters.
