Seward & Kissel LLP

Seward & Kissel LLP has a longstanding presence in restructurings and bankruptcies. The largely creditor-side practice has an established record in representing creditors’ committees and indenture trustees in bankruptcies; the team represented Matthew Dundon, in his capacity as the trustee for the Endo GUC Trust, as part of the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization for Endo International and its affiliated debtors. The team often works alongside the firm’s eminent corporate trust practice in major bankruptcies. It is also noted for debtor-in-possession (DIP) loans and acting for plan administrators, and has seen further growth in representing independent directors of special committees. John Ashmead heads the corporate restructuring and bankruptcy group, having specialised in the area for well over two decades. Robert Gayda is the key partner for representing creditors’ committees. Both are based in New York.
