Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP remains the first port of call for all stakeholders in high-profile financial restructurings, insolvency proceedings and distressed M&A, although it is particularly well known for its in-depth expertise in advising debtors, investors and pools of banks. Core strengths include distressed LBO transactions, the restructuring of French-listed companies and lender-led debt restructurings. In addition, the Paris office frequently draws on the capabilities of teams in the US, UK and continental Europe to handle cross-border mandates. Practice heads Jean-Dominique Daudier De Cassini and Céline Domenget-Morin have been involved in many of the most significant insolvency reorganisations and debt restructurings in France over the last decade. César Puech Routier is also a name to note.
