Katten

Katten has a fully-rounded restructuring and bankruptcy practice with a notably fine record in representing independent directors in Chapter 11 cases and out-of-court restructurings; it recently advised the independent managers on AmSurg’s liability management transactions and Chapter 11 cases. The firm also frequently acts for debtors, equity sponsors, creditor committees, secured lenders and agents, and indenture trustees, among a variety of constituencies in bankruptcy and restructuring matters. Energy, healthcare, retail and restaurants, technology, finance, real estate and shipping are among its primary sectors. Steven Reisman is a key name in the team alongside Peter Siddiqui in Chicago, the former recognised for his experience in advising boards of directors, independent directors and special committees. Los Angeles-based William Freeman has vast experience in West coast restructurings, while Cindi Giglio, co-chairing the practice with Peter Knight, specialises in the retail, commercial and industrial sectors. Named individuals are based in New York unless stated otherwise.
