How deep is the bankruptcy and restructuring talent pool in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles supports one of the broadest restructuring practices in the US, anchored by the volume and variety of distressed situations that originate in Southern California — real estate, media, retail, and cross-border matters among them. Sartori & Partners maps 250+ lawyers active in this market, spanning Chapter 11 litigation, out-of-court negotiations, and creditor committee representations across seniority levels.
What kinds of roles do you recruit for in restructuring in Los Angeles?
We recruit across the full seniority range — lateral partners, senior counsel, and associates — for firms that practice bankruptcy and restructuring in Los Angeles. Mandates typically involve debtor-side or creditor-side Chapter 11 work, distressed M&A, and workout counsel, and we advise both on discrete lateral moves and on building out a practice group with deliberate market coverage.
How does Sartori & Partners approach a restructuring search in Los Angeles?
We begin from mapped intelligence rather than reactive database searches. Because we track 250+ practitioners in the Los Angeles market, we can identify candidates whose current platform, deal flow, and seniority fit a specific mandate — rather than surfacing whoever happens to be circulating. That precision matters most in a practice where the relevant talent pool is specialist and the right fit depends on whether a candidate leans debtor, creditor, or transactional.
