Mayer Brown

Mayer Brown remains active in restructurings, chapter 11 bankruptcies and liability management exercises. The firm is particularly known for representing banks, lenders and other financial institutions, so is especially active in creditor-side mandates. It is experienced in contentious and out-of-court restructurings and has developed a further focus on the commercial real estate sector along with additional growth in the energy and infrastructure, healthcare and technology sectors. In the cross-border segment, it has dealt with matters across India, Canada, Chile, Israel, Australia, and the UK, among others. Head of the New York restructuring team, Joaquin de Baca is noted for restructurings in the energy sector, especially the electric power segment. New York and Chicago-based Louis Chiappetta specialises in out-of-court restructurings, while Chicago’s Sean Scott is another integral figure. New York’s Brian Trust, another immensely experienced practitioner, has represented creditors in a series of headline restructurings and bankruptcies.
