For more than a decade, Proskauer has advised investors and creditors on structuring and executing complex special situations transactions. Our team brings together lawyers across private credit, private equity, structured equity, M&A, securities, restructuring, litigation, and tax, delivering advice that can be deployed seamlessly.

We represent investment funds, private credit lenders, and distressed investors pursuing special situations or credit opportunities and seeking attractive risk-adjusted returns on debt and equity investments in middle-market companies globally. These strategies typically involve companies that are distressed, in out-of-favor or specialized industries, undergoing restructurings or recapitalizations in or outside of a proceeding, or with unusual or hard-to-value assets.

These transactions require sophisticated, highly experienced, and creative counsel. Our team is cross-trained and has a deep understanding of private credit, private equity, creditors’ rights, and bankruptcy, helping investors and creditors view complex structures from multiple angles, bringing fresh thinking to the issues.
