“We’re proud of Orrick’s continued top rankings in the Deal, which places us among the top tier bankruptcy firms internationally. Our rankings reflect the global nature of our work on some of the most complex bankruptcies and out of court restructurings of the year for both debtors and creditors”, said Raniero D’Aversa, Orrick’s Restructuring Practice Group Leader.  The group handled several high profile restructurings and bankruptcies in 2017, including the precedent setting $3.7 bn international restructuring for drill ship operator Ocean Rig, which included a Chapter 15 filing in New York and schemes of arrangement under Cayman Island law. Orrick also advised Toyota Motor Corporation in connection with its exposure in the highly publicized restructuring of airbag manufacturer Takata. The group also handled a unique bankruptcy proceeding involving tech start-up Lily Robotics, and advised lender groups and boards in the CHC and Seadrill bankruptcy cases. Other key matters have included advising creditors or trustees in major international restructurings for South Africa’s largest retailer, Edcon, French digital media group SoLocal, as well as French retailer Vivarte, among others.
