Hughes Hubbard has been recognized in the 2026 GRR 100, Global Restructuring Review’s annual guide to the world’s leading law firms for cross-border restructuring and insolvency matters.

GRR highlighted Hughes Hubbard’s longstanding restructuring practice and its experience in company-side Chapter 11 cases, airline restructurings, mass tort bankruptcies and financial institution insolvencies.

Among the firm’s recent work, the publication featured Hughes Hubbard’s role as co-lead counsel to Brazilian airline GOL in its Chapter 11 cases, which concluded with the company’s emergence from bankruptcy in June 2025. GRR also cited the firm’s work advising MTI and Imerys in Chapter 11 proceedings involving talc-related claims, as well as its representation of pregnancy-monitoring technology company Nuvo in its Chapter 11 and sale of substantially all its assets.

The guide recognized practice co-chairs Katie Coleman and Chris Kiplok, along with Erin Diers, Anson Frelinghuysen, Chris Gartman, Dustin Smith and Jeff Margolin. It also noted the practice’s history handling major insolvencies, including the $123 billion liquidation of Lehman Brothers Inc. and the $40 billion liquidation of MF Global.

Client feedback featured by GRR praised the team’s “commercial insight and understanding of the bankruptcy code” as “unparalleled,” along with its “outstanding dedication to the client experience” and “highly commercial” approach.

GRR 100 evaluates firms based on their cross-border restructuring and insolvency experience, with particular emphasis on significant matters handled during the 2025 research period.
