(London) – In its third annual GRR 100 guide to cross-border restructuring and insolvency law firms, Global Restructuring Review has recognized Akin Gump as one of the top law firms to tackle restructuring and insolvency matters. In addition, Akin Gump was ranked in the top 5 of the GRR 30, a ranking of the standout firms in the GRR 100.

Criteria for the GRR 100, which was announced as part of the GRR Awards 2019 on June 15, include the size of a firm’s restructuring and insolvency team, the number of countries served, hours billed, clients attracted, value and volume of cases on which a firm worked, and the level of complexity and innovation that was required in individual cases.

The GRR 30 uses two additional metrics: the firm’s top 10 cases during the research period and its performance in GRR’s sister publication, Who’s Who Legal: Restructuring & Insolvency 2018.

Akin Gump was also recognized for its role in the Noble Group Limited restructuring, which won the award for “Innovation in cross-border restructuring and insolvency." The firm was recognized earlier this year at both the IFLR Asia-Pacific Awards and the Asia Legal Awards for its work on the same matter (click here and here to learn more).

Akin Gump was shortlisted for recognition at the GRR Awards in these other categories:

  • “Cross-border cooperation in a specific restructuring or insolvency matter” for its role on the restructuring of Aegean Marine.
  • “Most significant restructuring or insolvency-related litigation” for its role in the matter of CW Advanced Technologies Limited.
  • “Large firms that impressed” for its work in a string of matters (click here for more).
