NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Alvarez & Marsal LLC was the top restructuring adviser to distressed companies in 2016, while Kirkland & Ellis LLP was the top law firm to counsel struggling firms, according to The Deal's annual Out-of-Court Restructuring League Tables.
Lazard Ltd. led the way for top financial adviser to distressed companies in 2016, according to the survey from The Deal, a business unit of TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ: TST).
"Out-of-court restructuring attorneys and advisers will be busy again in 2017 addressing distress in oil and gas, retail and, especially, the healthcare industry," said Kirk O'Neil, out-of-court restructuring reporter at The Deal. "The Trump administration's vow to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, advisers say, has led to uncertainty in the healthcare sector, prompting companies to seek solutions to improve operations and shore up their balance sheets."
Those findings along with others emerged from The Deal's latest quarterly report on restructuring. Some highlights:
