Arnold & Porter

Arnold & Porter is best known for its representation of agents, ad hoc lender groups, hedge funds and other financial institutions in major restructurings and bankruptcies, along with insolvency-related litigation. It represented an ad hoc group of term lenders in connection with multiple rescue, DIP and exit financings and a consensual debt for equity plan for Cineworld’s reorganization. It also advises companies, private equity funds and their portfolio companies, while it has achieved further growth in representing funds and strategic investors in the acquisition of distressed companies. Chicago-based Michael Messersmith is chair of the bankruptcy and restructuring group, having more than two decades of experience in complex and contentious matters. Washington DC’s Rosa Evergreen is also a prominent name in the field, along with Chicago managing partner Tyler Nurnberg. New York-based Benjamin Mintz is another notable partner.
