We have a highly regarded profile in international markets and frequently represent internationally-based clients in Canadian and cross-border restructurings and insolvencies.

We have represented domestic and international financial institutions and investors, commercial and financial organizations, creditors' committees, receivers, trustees, debtors and acquirers in reorganizations and insolvencies in Canada and around the world.
