Isaac Sasson is a partner in Paul Hastings' Financial Restructuring practice, based in the firm's New York office. He advises creditors, ad hoc groups, private credit funds, official committees of unsecured creditors, private equity funds and private companies across complex liability management transactions and in-court and out-of-court restructurings.

Isaac's practice is as much commercial as it is legal. He works with clients across the full arc of a restructuring and liability management exercise — from ad hoc group organization, negotiation strategy, getting to yes, documentation and litigation when it comes to that — with a particular focus on navigating competing interests and building consensus.

As a client recently noted in Chambers USA:  Isaac is "not afraid of the numbers, and brings a nice mix of commercial and legal expertise to bear. He is hands-on with every aspect of the transaction."

Isaac has served as counsel on some of the largest in-court and out-of-court restructurings and liability management transactions of the past decade, including FTX ($20+ billion), Caesars Entertainment Operating Company ($18 billion), Intelsat ($14.7 billion), Travelport ($4.3+ billion) and Franchise Group ($2.4 billion).
