The Deal’s latest Q4 2025 Bankruptcy and Out-of-Court League Tables recognize Cadwalader among the top-performing law firms.
In the Q4 2025 rankings, Cadwalader placed #2 globally among firms serving as counsel to creditors in out-of-court restructurings and #7 for counsel to distressed companies. The firm was also ranked #6 in The Deal’s Bankruptcy tables — advancing a total of 14 positions across two categories compared to the Q3 2025 rankings. This growth underscores the firm’s renewed commitment to leading restructurings for secured creditors.
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. It also counsels strategic investors and market participants on bankruptcy issues related to financings and acquisitions involving distressed entities.
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.
