White & Case LLP

Able to deploy a seamless offering across Europe (including a strong emerging markets presence) and the US, White & Case LLP provides ‘very commercial, clear and pragmatic advice’ to creditors and debtors on matters throughout the spectrum of restructuring work, from balance sheet restructurings and special situations through to formal insolvencies. Under the leadership of the ’outstanding‘ Christian Pilkington, the firm excels in providing ’nuanced and sophisticated advice’ to funds on bespoke and complex private investments across the distressed credit space and also has a ‘particular expertise in UK schemes and restructuring plans’. The ’extremely responsive and very pragmatic’ Ben Davies is also a very popular choice among debtors for complex cross-border restructurings, work which he combines with a vibrant creditor practice that includes work for banks and funds. Morvyn Radlow is adept at advising debtors as well as distressed investors and is a key member of a team that also includes Will Stoner, who combines ‘strong legal knowledge and commercial acumen’. Ian Wallace departed the practice in August 2024.
