August 04, 2025
Law360 has recognized Paul Hastings Financial Restructuring partner Lindsey Henrikson as a 2025 “Rising Star” in Bankruptcy law. Lindsey is recognized for spearheading the strategy for Reficar, a Colombian state-owned refinery, in parallel legal proceedings in the U.S., U.K. and Netherlands to preserve a $1.3 billion arbitration award against McDermott International. This included overseeing the longest U.K. Chapter 26A trial on record and securing the first commercial WHOA appointment of an independent insolvency administrator. The cross-border settlement was awarded the American Bankruptcy Institute’s International Matter of the Year.
Lindsey’s other recent work includes representing Antares Capital in the Shoes for Crews bankruptcy and leading lender-side negotiations in Acorda Therapeutics’ bankruptcy, securing DIP financings, credit bids and value-maximizing outcomes.
