The Energy Asset Restructuring Practice Group at McDermott Will & Emery delivers effective counsel on the legal and business challenges facing today’s energy industry. Our lawyers are drawn from throughout the Firm’s corporate, restructuring, securities, litigation and bankruptcy practices. We advise U.S. and multinational energy companies, commercial and investment banks, institutional investors, hedge funds and private equity funds on a broad range of restructuring issues and strategies. We provide guidance on bankruptcy, reorganizations, workouts, separation/spin-off transactions, and the acquisition and disposition of distressed assets and operations.

We identify and manage the potential risks associated with asset-restructuring initiatives. Our litigators represent clients in shareholder derivative suits, class action litigation, fiduciary liability and breach of duty suits, regulatory actions, law enforcement investigations and government contract disputes. With deep experience in the energy industry, we have successfully pursued the interests of debtors, secured and unsecured creditors, and other parties in numerous administrative, bankruptcy and judicial proceedings.
