White & Case LLP has a huge team of restructuring and bankruptcy lawyers in the US, which includes 29 partners. It is regularly mandated in domestic and cross-border corporate and financial restructurings and Chapter 11 proceedings, representing stakeholders across the capital structure. It is also noted for its expertise in Latin America-related restructurings, particularly through its Miami-based partners. The firm has continued to advise a large number of creditor committees, ad hoc groups and debtors in large-scale restructurings and bankruptcies. It covers a wide range of industries and has developed a leading presence in cryptocurrency bankruptcies.

Thomas Lauria is global head of the financial restructuring and insolvency practice, a leading figure in the market who has worked on many of the largest domestic and cross-border restructurings and bankruptcies. Jessica Lauria and Miami-based John K Cunningham are also prominent names in the field, along with Chris Shore , Scott Greissman , Miami’s Richard Kebrdle and Gregory Pesce in Chicago. Newly elected Miami partner Amanda Parra Criste has made an impression as well. All named partners are based in New York unless stated otherwise.

‘Brian Pfeiffer can look at the overall transaction and individual points both at 20,000 feet and dive into the details. I always feel as if we have the best lawyers on a deal and have always been pleased with the outcomes that they help effect. ’
‘I have dealt with many high end bankruptcy firms and, without question, White and Case is consistently excellent. The firm does not over staff cases and delivers sound advice on complex issues.’
‘I believe Tom Lauria, Chris Shore and Brian Pfeiffer are the top partners. The attorneys are always well prepared and strategic in their advice and performance in court - never disappointed.’
‘The team at W&C has a very strong combination of practical restructuring experience and bankruptcy litigation expertise. Their flexibility is a strength. While some firms tend towards being one-mode (litigation for its own sake or focusing exclusively on consensual workouts), the W&C team can effectively pivot between the two as needed.’
‘Chris Shore is one of the best-known bankruptcy litigators there is. He is very effective in front of most bankruptcy judges, which requires an understanding of the particular tone needed in a bankruptcy court.'
- 'Philip Abelson is an outstanding restructuring lawyer. Very good at building consensus and keeping difficult coalitions together in challenging circumstances.’
‘White & Case is the A list of the A list in financial restructuring. They are hands down the most innovative group of lawyers in the business. Standard playbook is not in their vocabulary.’
‘Tom Lauria is second to none. Gregory Pesce and Scott Greisman are at the top of the practice. They are hard working, hard charging and innovative. Their integrity is unmatched, a quality that is often overlooked.’
