In a recent feature for Lawdragon, our Restructuring and Finance group was profiled and highlighted for its collaborative culture and comprehensive approach. The group offers clients a one-stop shop, handling everything from acquisition financing and capital structure design to liability management and corporate restructurings. Known within our firm as the "ReFi Group," the team's success can be traced to its unusual structure, covering the full spectrum from pure finance to restructuring, with litigators working side by side with transactional lawyers.

Fun and lively debate at the Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership at Columbia Law School kicked-off by my partner Igor Kirman and moderated by thought leader Dorothy Lund, and featuring John Roe, Bruce H. Goldfarb, Sean Donahue and Ryan Nebel. We did not always (or often!) agree but we had fun sparring. Thank you to Erica Mitnick Klein for putting on a master class of academia engaging with practice.

Historic firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz's elite restructuring and finance group is anything but traditional. Rather than separating restructuring and finance, the practice group is a one-stop shop handling everything from acquisition financing and capital structure design to liability management and corporate restructurings, along with dedicated litigation specialists. “It is a relatively unusual structure in terms of having a group that covers the full spectrum from pure finance on one side to restructuring on the other and having litigators working side by side with transactional lawyers,” says partner Emil Kleinhaus. The team's work is proof of the model's effectiveness, with high-profile engagements from the Chapter 11 reorganization of drugmaker Mallinckrodt to X Corp. (formerly Twitter)'s sale to Elon Musk: https://lnkd.in/eAQ3Tt4Z #lawyers #lawfirms #finance #restructuring #legalnews
