Sidley Finishes Q2 and H1 2025 With Top Five Restructuring League Table Rankings

The Deal and Octus have released their Q2 and H1 2025 restructuring league table rankings.

• The Deal ranked Sidley the No. 2 firm for distressed companies in out-of-court restructuring transactions.
• Octus U.S. ranked Sidley the second-most frequently retained legal advisor based on the number of company engagements.
• On July 15, 2025, Bloomberg Law published an article highlighting Sidley as the second-leading firm for major Chapter 11 debtor representations. As Steve Hessler, Sidley’s Global Restructuring Practice Leader, noted in the article, this rise in market share “reflects our intensified focus on our company-side platform,” with the firm anticipating “a similarly robust mix of in and out-of-court restructuring work over the third and fourth quarters.”
