Practice Areas

Hugo Bowkett advises a full range of stakeholders on complex, multijurisdictional restructurings, special situations, and financings across the capital structure.

Hugo leverages his keen commercial judgment and extensive experience to represent asset managers, hedge funds, alternative capital providers, financial institutions, private equity sponsors, and corporates on high-stakes transactions that often entail negotiating and managing differing stakeholders’ interests, including:

- Investments with multilayered capital structures

- Schemes of arrangement and restructuring plans

- Security enforcements

- UK administrations and Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVAs)

- In- and out-of-court proceedings in multiple jurisdictions

He drives process efficiency in every transaction and facilitates relationships across Latham’s multidisciplinary platform — including close collaboration with the Finance, Corporate, Benefits, and Tax Practices — to devise bespoke solutions for the client.

Hugo also guides clients on restructuring matters involving securitization, whether full-business, RMBS, CMBS, or trade receivables, as well as on special situations financing.

He completed a six-month secondment in Alcentra’s special situations practice, where he advised funds on their underlying investments, including on various restructurings.

Hugo is a member of the Turnaround Managers Association.

Prior to joining Latham, he practiced at another international law firm in London.
