Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructuring
Young Conaway’s Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructuring Section, comprised of 35 lawyers and ten paralegals, is one of the largest in Delaware and the Mid-Atlantic region. Members of the Section typically represent both debtors and creditors and have significant relationships with the most well-respected law, financial advisory, accounting, investment banking, and restructuring firms. In addition, because of our experience and our network of insolvency experts around the country, Young Conaway is able to provide its clients with advice and expertise on all matters pertinent to chapter 11 proceedings, including, among other things, asset sales, financing, debt restructuring, the validity and extent of a secured creditor’s liens and claims, valuation, solvency, the analysis, prosecution and defense of potential bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy related causes of action, corporate governance and fiduciary obligations, and the most effective means of maximizing value.
Our bankruptcy and restructuring attorneys have a deep and broad scope of experience, allowing us to efficiently and effectively provide the highest quality legal advice to our clients on a wide range of restructuring matters. Together with our colleagues who provide tax, corporate, litigation, employment, and business advice, Young Conaway’s bankruptcy attorneys are well equipped to provide sound, creative and effective legal solutions when companies encounter financial difficulties. Collaboration is commonplace at the firm, and serves as an intrinsic quality of our law firm culture and core values. This collaborative nature also provides a competitive advantage in connection with negotiations, transactions, and litigation that our clients value.
Young Conaway’s representation of financially troubled corporate entities has earned it a national reputation as a preeminent insolvency practice group. Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business identified Young Conaway as one of the top bankruptcy firms in Delaware, recognizing the “team effort” adopted by Young Conaway’s Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructuring Section and the fact that “all the lawyers are experts in their subjects and at the cutting edge of the law.” Clients also commented to Chambers USA researchers that the team was “very fast, very responsive and very able”. “They command the respect of the judges so it’s very clear to me that they’re extremely highly regarded.” The Deal, a bankruptcy publication, has repeatedly recognized Young Conaway as a top ten bankruptcy law firm. In January, the firm earned a prominent placement on The Deal’s exclusive full-year 2017 Bankruptcy League Table rankings. Young Conaway was the only Delaware-based law firm to have been ranked according to dollar volume, and was ranked third on the list for total number of bankruptcy cases. The reputation of both the firm and the Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructuring Section continues to grow outside of the United States, as confirmed by the recent nomination in two categories at the Global Restructuring Review Awards. Young Conaway received awards for "Small or Regional Law Firm That Impressed" as well as for “Innovation in Cross-border Insolvency and Restructuring.” The firm was also featured in Global Restructuring Review's publication, 100 - The Guide to Specialist International Restructuring Practices 2017. Through its sophisticated questionnaire and independent research, the Global Restructuring Review developed its guide of firms to contact when international businesses fail.
