Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (UK) LLP

Although it is a relatively small core team in London, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (UK) LLP is often engaged in high-profile mandates, working in a co-ordinated fashion with finance, corporate and litigation practitioners, as well as other international offices. As well as regularly handling bondholder committee mandates, the team also often works alongside its accomplished US practice on Chapter 11 debtor work, much of which flows from the firm's stellar corporate client base. Team head Peter Newman has detailed knowledge of US and English restructuring and insolvency procedures and how these interact with various jurisdictions in continental Europe. Dual UK and US-qualified partner Nicole Stephansen is also a key member of the team and excels in providing creative capital solutions for distressed  companies.
