Practical Guidance Across the Restructuring Process 

Sheppard’s Bankruptcy and Restructuring team is known for pragmatic, results-focused counsel in complex insolvency matters. We represent clients in Chapter 11 and Chapter 15 cases, out-of-court workouts, distressed acquisitions, cross-border insolvencies and bankruptcy litigation.

The team is regularly engaged by companies, sponsors, boards of directors, special committees, credit funds, hedge funds, banks, insurance companies and other asset managers worldwide to advise on unconventional, complicated transactions and deals with dynamics that do not conform to market norms. 

Our distinction lies in seamlessly blending deep legal expertise with comprehensive industry insight. Our lawyers have spearheaded high-profile cases for leading aerospace firms, energy providers, entertainment giants, healthcare institutions, financial organizations, real estate developers and religious entities—often navigating matters involving billions of dollars and critical reputational stakes. With specialized expertise in aerospace and defense, entertainment, healthcare, renewable energy, telecommunications and real estate, our team is uniquely positioned to foresee challenges and craft bespoke, strategic solutions.
