Lawdragon Global Restructuring Advisors & Consultants Guide
By Katrina Dewey | August 10, 2020 | Guides, Legal Consultant Limelights
We are proud to introduce the Lawdragon Global Restructuring Advisors & Consultants Guide. This guide is chiefly comprised of non-lawyers (chiefly accountants); litigation finance professionals who specialize in insolvency; and lawyers working in accounting or consulting firms in a business and legal capacity.
As we researched the global field of experts providing legal guidance in cross-border as well as more traditional bankruptcy matters, the expansive backgrounds of those called on to rescue companies or salvage assets was striking. So were the number of legal professionals playing key roles not in law firms, but at Ernst & Young, FTI, and other like organizations.
One facet that surprised us most was the powerful role litigation finance is playing in insolvencies and restructurings – a trend that will certainly have its moment in these difficult times.
The individuals featured here were selected through journalistic research, vetting by their peers, and nominations.
