- lawyers with cross-border insolvency experience
Cross-border insolvency is a specialism within Bankruptcy & Restructuring that demands a rare combination: deep technical command of multi-jurisdictional recognition frameworks, comfort navigating concurrent proceedings across incompatible legal systems, and the credibility to act in matters where counsel on opposing sides may be working under entirely different insolvency regimes.
Practitioners in this space are not generalist restructuring lawyers who occasionally touch an international file. They understand the interplay between Chapter 15 petitions and foreign main proceedings, the mechanics of COMI determinations, and the coordination demands of parallel enforcement across jurisdictions where creditor hierarchies differ fundamentally. That expertise is scarce and does not move often.
Sartori & Partners maps this talent market with precision. We track more than 250 lawyers with demonstrable cross-border insolvency experience — counsel who have acted in recognised multi-jurisdictional matters, not those whose CVs list the subject as a footnote. When a mandate requires this specialism, we do not begin searching; we already know the market.

How does cross-border insolvency recruiting differ from general restructuring search?
The candidate pool is materially smaller and the credential bar is higher. We look specifically for practitioners with hands-on exposure to multi-jurisdictional recognition proceedings, COMI disputes, or coordinated cross-border enforcement — not simply restructuring experience with an international element. Because the market is thin, reactive search almost always fails; meaningful results come from a firm that has already mapped it.
How many live cross-border insolvency roles does Sartori & Partners have?
We have 222 live cross-border insolvency roles across our coverage, spanning 142 partner-level and 80 associate or counsel positions. Mandates in this area are typically confidential and off-market — these are only the roles we are actively able to share. Contact us to discuss what else is live.
What compensation do cross-border insolvency roles typically offer?
Based on current live mandates, cross-border insolvency role compensation in the US runs $100k–$435k. This reflects only the roles where the hiring organisation has authorised us to share a range publicly — many mandates are structured around the right candidate rather than a fixed band.
