Debbie King

I joined the firm in 2025, having worked in restructuring for nearly 30 years. I support companies, their sponsors and lenders to assess options to enhance or recover value from stressed or distressed situations, and work alongside them and their legal advisers to deliver solutions in often challenging circumstances.

My experience ranges from mid-market, lender advisory through to company-side advisory for large corporates. This includes working internationally across a range of sectors, using restructuring tools available outside of the UK where appropriate, with notable high-profile client matters having included  Westinghouse, Noble Group, Stemcor, Thomas Cook, XL Airways, syncreon and Swissport.

This breadth of experience means I understand the varied stakeholder perspectives in a restructuring and how to support the achievement of a consensual solution. Where appropriate, as a licensed insolvency practitioner, I also take appointments to facilitate transactions or pursue more contentious recoveries. My clients tell me they value my collaborative and pragmatic approach that balances an appreciation for the technical with achieving a commercial outcome.

When not working, I can usually be found enjoying the chaos of family life. Weekends involve plenty of baking (with creations shared with friends), or exploring the local countryside. I also enjoy using the needlework skills my Gran taught me or escaping into a good book.
