Mr. Sprayregen is recognized as one of the country's outstanding restructuring lawyers and has led some of the most complex Chapter 11 filings in recent history. Mr. Sprayregen has extensive experience representing major U.S. and international companies in and out of court as well as buyers and sellers of assets in distressed situations. He has handled matters for clients in industries as varied as manufacturing, technology, transportation, energy, media, and real estate. He has extensive experience advising boards of directors, and generally representing domestic and international debtors and creditors in complex workout, insolvency, restructuring, and bankruptcy planning matters. In March 2010, The National Law Journal selected Mr. Sprayregen as one of "The Decade's Most Influential Lawyers." In addition, Chambers & Partners has described Mr. Sprayregen as a "great clients' lawyer, admired for his 'unflustered ways.'" Chambers said that clients it spoke to noted that he is "probably the best restructuring lawyer in the world." From 2006-2008, Mr. Sprayregen served as co-head of Goldman Sach's Restructuring Group and advised clients in restructuring and distressed situations. Prior to joining Goldman Sachs, Mr. Sprayregen spent 16 years at Kirkland & Ellis. He rejoined the Restructuring Group at Kirkland & Ellis in December 2008. The 2009 edition of Chambers USA, America's Leading Lawyers for Business highlighted Mr. Sprayregen's return to Kirkland & Ellis after his nearly three years with Goldman Sachs. Mr. Sprayregen was listed as a first tier lawyer practicing in the bankruptcy/restructuring category, and was described as having an "outstanding reputation for complex Chapter 11 cases." The 2010 edition of Chambers USA, America's Leading Lawyers for Business recognized Mr. Sprayregen as a key individual, noting that "he will lift the practice even higher," and that he is known for his ability to "smooth the waters where needed but also take an aggressive stand when necessary." Mr. Sprayregen has recently represented numerous multinational public and private corporations in many of the country's largest out-of-court restructuring matters and Chapter 11 cases, including the following: • Lear Corporation, a leading global supplier of seating systems, electrical distribution systems, and electronics to the automotive industry, in its prearranged Chapter 11 reorganization. With 2008 net sales of $13.6 billion, Lear employs more than 80,000 individuals at 210 facilities in 36 countries around the world. • Conseco, Inc., and certain of its subsidiaries, in what has been reported as the seventh largest Chapter 11 filing in history. This extremely complicated case involved the heavily-regulated industries of finance, banking and insurance. After conducting a lengthy and spirited auction, Kirkland received court approval for the sale of the assets of the finance subsidiaries for more than $1 billion in cash. In addition, Kirkland negotiated the restructuring of the holding company debtors, which own the insurance subsidiaries. Only months into the case, Kirkland filed Chapter 11 plans of reorganization and the company emerged from bankruptcy in 2003. Mr. Sprayregen is a frequent lecturer and speaker, and also has published numerous articles on insolvency, fiduciary duty and distressed M&A issues. He also served for three years as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and for one year as an Adjunct Professor at New York University School of Law.
