Accountants
The Accountancy sector faces an ever-increasing demand for
global services, sector focus, flexible and innovative solutions
and an outstanding level of client service. All of these must be
provided within the confines of increased regulatory controls and
enhanced global risks. SNR Denton understands the complexities
of these competing needs. We advise all the leading accountancy
firms and pride ourselves on delivering practical and commercial
solutions to local and international issues. We help our clients
mitigate risks and meet the changing needs of their own
clients.
At the core of our offering to our accountancy clients is SNR
Denton's Restructuring and Insolvency Group. The group is one of
the largest, most highly regarded, teams of dedicated specialists
in the World. The legal directories consistently recognize many of
our partners as market leaders.
Restructuring needs are no longer purely domestic. We live in a
global marketplace and our clients need advice wherever they may
trade or invest. They need lawyers who can advise with confidence
on competing jurisdictions around the World. We meet those needs
through our core team in London, New York, Chicago, Paris and
Dubai. Our network of international offices in Europe, the US,
the Middle East, the CIS, and Africa enable us to respond quickly
and confidently to whatever challenges may come our clients’
way.
We regularly work alongside Accountants in their role as
Insolvency Office holders in complex insolvencies and
restructurings around the world. Insolvency Office Holders and
Trustees are major players in insolvency proceedings in many
jurisdictions around the world. Supported by their domestic
courts, and increasingly by international recognition statutes and
protocols, they wield huge influence on the process and outcome of
insolvencies and restructurings. They enjoy extraordinary powers
and privileges. SNR Denton lawyers are at the cutting edge of the
important new field of international recognition of Office Holders.
This includes US Chapter 15 proceedings, UK Cross Border Insolvency
Regulations 2006, and their equivalents elsewhere.
Many of our relationships with Accountancy firms extend well
beyond restructuring and insolvency work; for example advising on
the MBO of a niche practice, or acting as trusted advisors to firms
of all sizes on sensitive liability and regulatory issues. SNR
Denton are able to deliver sector knowledge and understanding in
tandem with a full range of commercial legal services - such as
corporate, finance, real estate, technology, media and telecoms,
litigation, employment, intellectual property and tax.
