Brett Lawrence is a partner in the Financial Restructuring group at Paul Hastings and co-chair of the firm’s New York office. He focuses on in-court and out-of-court restructurings and distressed M&A for creditors, distressed investors and equity holders. He structures and negotiates creative solutions, including strategic foreclosures and bespoke securities, to help clients capture value that others may miss.

Brett represents official and ad hoc committees in formal proceedings and advises investors on structuring and executing investments, raising capital and acquiring distressed assets. He frequently helps funds address novel situations, including designing securities that provide effective control for credit funds and negotiating lender-like protections for equity investors. He also guides clients on rights offerings and securities issues that arise in trading, including the use of big boy letters and related compliance strategies.
