Akin Gump Again Selected for GRR 30 List of Top Restructuring Firms
(London) – Akin Gump is pleased to share that Global Restructuring Review has again named the firm to its GRR 30 ranking of the “standout” firms drawn from the publication’s GRR 100. This is the sixth consecutive year that the firm has ranked in the top 10, and the second consecutive year it has been among the top five firms in the world for restructuring matters.
GRR 30 firms are ranked on three factors: their 10 biggest cases during the research period, the number of firm practitioners recognized in Who’s Who Legal: Restructuring & Insolvency, and their performance in the GRR 30 calculations of the preceding year.
In the published profile of the firm (read full profile here), GRR spotlighted the firm’s recent work on behalf of:
- Private placement noteholders of international commodity trader ED&F Man, which restructured $1.9 billion of English and New York law-governed debt.
- An ad hoc group of creditors of oil and gas provider Premier Oil, which secured the first sanction of a U.K. restructuring plan in Scotland in March 2021.
- Private placement noteholders of Ireland-headquartered, Denmark-based aircraft leasing company Nordic Aviation Capital, which restructured a $6 billion debt pile through an Irish scheme of arrangement.
- An ad hoc group of senior noteholders in the chapter 11 restructuring of Mexican flag carrier Aeroméxico.
- Noteholders in the negotiation of the terms of a $1 billion syndicated debtor-in-possession (DIP) facility and of certain first lien claims in the restructuring of the world’s largest satellite company, Luxembourg-registered Intelsat.
