The firm also benefits from its debtor-side practice, while also providing on-the-ground restructuring advice across the globe with lawyers situated across the U.S. Attorneys, such as co-chair Kristopher Hansen , who was noted by one client as a ’rockstar‘ in the field, and has been involved in a series of bankruptcies including those related to crypto and the pharmaceutical industry. co-chair Jayme Goldstein specializes in representing a range of parties in chapter 11 and out-of-court restructurings, alongside Jonathan Canfield who has led the representation of creditors in complex restructuring matters. Daniel Fliman has a diverse practice on both the debtor and creditor side, whereas Gabe Sasson represents official committees of unsecured creditors and has led on a range of restructuring and bankruptcies. Lindsey Henrikson joined the Chicago office from King & Spalding LLP in September 2024.
