The Banking & Restructuring practice, resulting from the integration of the Banking & Finance and Restructuring & Insolvency practices, aims to provide clients with a unified and highly specialized legal platform for the execution of complex financial transactions and for debt restructuring and corporate turnaround processes.
The practice is distinguished by an integrated approach that combines in-depth knowledge of the banking and financial markets with solid experience in managing restructuring, turnaround and insolvency processes, both out-of-court and in judicial contexts. This integration enables the firm to assist banks, financial institutions, investment funds, industrial groups and listed companies throughout the entire lifecycle of a transaction, from the structuring and negotiation of financing arrangements to the management of financial distress situations, and through to turnaround initiatives or insolvency proceedings.
