The Deal’s Q1 2026 Bankruptcy and Out-of-Court League Tables again recognize Cadwalader as a top-performing law firm.
In the Q1 2026 rankings, Cadwalader placed #2 globally for the second consecutive quarter among firms serving as counsel to creditors in out-of-court restructurings. The firm was also ranked #7 in bankruptcy and #8 for counsel to distressed companies.
The Cadwalader team regularly advises agents, noteholders, official creditor committees, ad hoc creditor committees and various other creditor constituencies in restructurings in- and out-of-court in the U.S. and abroad and is a leader for secured creditors addressing a restructuring in and out of bankruptcy.
The Deal’s Bankruptcy League Tables are the industry’s only league tables focused solely on active bankruptcy and out-of-court-restructuring cases. These rankings are compiled on a quarterly basis through comprehensive deal intelligence to identify the top law, crisis management, investment, and non-investment firms and professionals involved in bankruptcy transactions throughout the United States. Firms are ranked based on advice provided to creditors, debtors and out-of-court restructurings.
