- lawyers with cross-border insolvency experience
Cross-border insolvency is a specialism within Bankruptcy & Restructuring that demands a rare combination: deep technical command of multi-jurisdictional recognition frameworks, comfort navigating concurrent proceedings across incompatible legal systems, and the credibility to act in matters where counsel on opposing sides may be working under entirely different insolvency regimes.
Practitioners in this space are not generalist restructuring lawyers who occasionally touch an international file. They understand the interplay between Chapter 15 petitions and foreign main proceedings, the mechanics of COMI determinations, and the coordination demands of parallel enforcement across jurisdictions where creditor hierarchies differ fundamentally. That expertise is scarce and does not move often.
Sartori & Partners maps this talent market with precision. We track more than 250 lawyers with demonstrable cross-border insolvency experience — counsel who have acted in recognised multi-jurisdictional matters, not those whose CVs list the subject as a footnote. When a mandate requires this specialism, we do not begin searching; we already know the market.

How does cross-border insolvency recruiting differ from general restructuring search?
The candidate pool is materially smaller and the credential bar is higher. We look specifically for practitioners with hands-on exposure to multi-jurisdictional recognition proceedings, COMI disputes, or coordinated cross-border enforcement — not simply restructuring experience with an international element. Because the market is thin, reactive search almost always fails; meaningful results come from a firm that has already mapped it.
We need counsel who can lead a Chapter 15 recognition matter alongside foreign proceedings — how do you identify that depth of experience?
Our research process distinguishes lawyers who have acted in a lead or senior role on recognised cross-border matters from those who supported tangentially. We track the jurisdictional scope of prior mandates, the nature of the proceedings, and the seniority of the role. That distinction matters when the hire needs to stand before a court, not simply draft ancillary documents.
Can you recruit cross-border insolvency specialists for companies that operate outside the United States?
Yes. Cross-border insolvency work is by definition multi-jurisdictional, and so is our search capability. We recruit across markets for companies that operate wherever significant insolvency proceedings arise — the specialism itself travels with the practitioner, and our mapping of 250+ lawyers spans counsel with experience in proceedings recognised under a range of national frameworks.
