Let's start with Mike Stenglein of King & Spalding, who landed Litigator of the Week honors last year after representing Colombia's Refinería de Cartagena, or Reficar, in a six-week remote arbitration against Chicago Bridge & Iron over cost overruns and construction delays. Last week U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston signed off on orders routing nearly $900 million in payment to Reficar—including preferred shares that convert to 19.9% of the common equity of Chicago Bridge & Iron owner McDermott International Ltd. Stenglein led the team on the matter alongside restructuring partner Matt Warren, and disputes partners Tom Sprange and Sarah Walker. The arbitration team included Adam Gray, Harry Burnett, Doak Bishop, Roberto Aguirre Luzi, Matt Vandenberg, Luke Roniger, Jeff Mills, Nate Bilhartz and Luisa Gutierrez Quintero. The restructuring team included Lindsey Henrikson, Benjamin Jones, Patrick Schumann, Scott Davidson, Michael Handler, Valerie Eliasen, Caspian Heeler, Erin Vandzura, Mark McLennan, Rosie Watterson, Tom Childs, Viva Dadwal, Tamsin Parzen and Lisa Wong.
