Bruce Bell is a partner in the Finance Department of the London office of Latham & Watkins and Global Vice Chair of the Restructuring & Special Situations Practice.

He advises a range of stakeholders on lending, restructuring, and insolvency matters, including borrowers/debtors, sponsors/equity holders, and lenders/creditors. He has been one of the leading practitioners of English law creditor schemes of arrangement in recent years, both for restructuring troubled businesses and for providing consumer compensation in retail financial services.

He focuses particularly on cross-border debt restructurings, and has been involved in many of the most high-profile restructurings in Europe since the global financial crisis.
