Restructuring & Insolvency Legal Services

Guiding Stakeholders Through Corporate Distress and Insolvency

Holmes advises a wide range of stakeholders in corporate restructurings and financial distress scenarios. We support boards of directors in navigating challenging circumstances and provide strategic counsel to global investment funds, asset managers, banks, and bondholders.

We manage all aspects of insolvency, with particular expertise in complex cases involving competing creditor claims across the capital structure and legal challenges from diverse stakeholder groups.

Our experience spans examinerships, receiverships, voluntary and involuntary liquidations, and bankruptcies. We provide clear, commercially focused advice on contingency planning, debt restructuring, rescheduling, and distressed transactions — including acquisitions, credit bidding, and asset sales.

Clients rely on us for guidance through both formal insolvency proceedings and out-of-court solutions such as distressed refinancings and secondary debt trading. We also advise on directors’ duties and liability exposure, including reckless and fraudulent trading, misfeasance, and restriction or disqualification proceedings.

Our team also acts for domestic and international secured creditors on enforcement strategies and recovery of distressed assets.
