Restructuring and Insolvency

Practice Areas

Back

The Practice

Non-performing loans and distressed assets continue to surge in a market fraught with growing uncertainty. Our restructuring and insolvency team has extensively worked on most restructuring platforms such as SICA, DRT, CDR, SARFAESI, SDR, S4A and more recently, on a vast majority of matters involving the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. We’ve closely engaged with clients on either side of loans and assets, in the domestic and international markets.

Execution

Successful debt restructuring warrants a sound understanding of issues along the lifecycle of loans and, critically, the borrower business. We leverage our nuanced commercial understanding of the objectives of diverse stakeholders such as banks, lenders, creditors, borrowers, investors, etc. to drive optimal and objective solutions in such distressed situations.

The Khaitan Advantage

The success of our restructuring and insolvency practice is built around an inclusive approach of expert lawyers across diverse practices. Our practioners have regulatory, corporate, commercial, banking, finance, dispute, M&A and sector domain experience that helps push viable and comprehensive restructuring solutions.

"Both peers and clients speak of the team as a "very good," "extremely strong and extremely active" practice, with one source, who also stresses the firm's "depth and talent," observing: "We have used Khaitan more than any other firm in our investment transactions."
