King & Spalding

King & Spalding LLP has an established presence in financial restructuring with a particularly strong reputation on the creditor side, frequently representing private debt funds and direct lenders, along with ad hoc lender groups and traditional banks. The firm also advises debtors and has a background in distressed M&A and insolvency litigation. New York-based Arthur Steinberg has more than 40 years’ experience in restructuring matters, while Atlanta partners Austin Jowers and Jeff Dutson are also key members of the team; both recently represented Red Lobster and its affiliates in their headline chapter 11 bankruptcy filed in the Middle District of Florida (Orlando division). A substantial team, including Matthew Warren, Roger Schwartz , Peter Montoni and Geoffrey King, left the firm in 2024.
