Bankruptcy & Restructuring Attorney
Our client is an AmLaw 50 firm whose restructuring practice is consistently ranked among the top in the country. The Chicago office has been at the center of some of the most significant regional and national Chapter 11 cases in recent years across retail, energy, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors.

The practice offers the full spectrum of debtor and creditor-side representation, providing associates and mid-level attorneys with genuinely balanced experience. The firm is an active recruiter of candidates from top restructuring boutiques and Big Law restructuring groups.
