Christopher Ward represents companies facing stress and distress, guiding them through financial restructurings, litigation, business divorces, fiduciary investigations, and asset sales with a business-minded, client-driven approach. He has over twenty-five years of experience working with clients in corporate bankruptcy and restructurings, bet-the-company litigation, and distressed asset sales—both in Delaware and nationally.

Chris works with Chapter 11 debtors, Boards of Directors and managers, litigants, credit committees, private equity and credit participants, and middle-market distressed borrowers in bankruptcy proceedings and out-of-court alternatives. His deep familiarity with Delaware law is an added benefit when dealing with corporate governance matters, independent directors, and special committees facing fiduciary duty concerns. He regularly advises on corporate law issues, including fiduciary duties for solvent and insolvent companies, as well as special committees and independent investigations.

Chris is well-connected across the restructuring industry, maintaining strong relationships with leading financial advisory firms, investment banks, distressed lenders, and law firms nationwide. He is a former President of the American Bankruptcy Institute, and is actively involved in numerous professional organizations, including the Turnaround Management Association, the Association of Insolvency & Restructuring Advisors, and INSOL.
