Moelis & Company (NYSE: MC), a leading global independent investment bank, has been awarded IFR Magazine’s coveted Restructuring Adviser of the Year award for 2019 for delivering clients ‘one firm’ across the globe.

IFR judges said: “Moelis prides itself on a ‘one firm’ approach to restructurings, being able to offer the same service to clients from Europe to the US to Asia.

The IFR judges said Moelis ‘…proved to be a tenacious advocate for its client and continues to stretch the boundaries of what’s possible in a restructuring.” Bill Derrough and Thane Carlston, Co-Heads of Moelis & Company’s Restructuring Team, said: “Since our team joined Moelis in 2008, we have worked on more than $1 trillion of restructuring transactions. In winning this award, we are proud to have been recognized for the work we have done in the past year for clients like iHeart, Noble, Hexion and Neiman Marcus.”

The IFR judges also pointed to Steinhoff as a major highlight of the recent debt restructuring market. Matt Prest and Charles Noel-Johnson, Co-Heads of EMEA Restructuring, said: “Moelis was there at the critical stage at the start and helped save the company from bankruptcy in the first three months. For a year and a half, we worked on all aspects of the deal and ultimately delivered.”
