About

Provided by Winston & Strawn LLP

Winston is a global powerhouse in the restructuring and insolvency space. We offer a fully integrated team of attorneys across a global platform to guide clients through any distressed situation, whether the client is a savvy and interested investor, a creditor seeking to maximize its recovery, or a company aiming to proceed through a successful yet complex restructuring. We have advised stakeholders in some of the highest-profile restructurings and bankruptcy cases in the United States and beyond.


Attorneys in our Restructuring & Insolvency Practice serve as trusted advisers and resolute advocates to protect our clients’ business interests and assets across the spectrum of distressed situations, including distressed mergers and acquisitions, refinancings, purchases of loan portfolios, structuring novel debt instruments, and restructurings. Our deep client base spans myriad industries, including oil and gas, energy, real estate, retail, health care, transportation, entertainment, and manufacturing.


Large corporations in financial distress often spawn a complex web of claims by lenders, trustees, debtors, creditors, creditors’ committees, investors, shareholders, and other constituents. We have a long history of representing debtors, creditors, official committees, ad-hoc committees, purchasers and sellers of distressed assets, and other joint defense representations, both in and out of bankruptcy, on the transactional side as well as in substantial litigation.
