According to a recent LinkedIn post from 9fin, the company is highlighting a surge in European restructuring activity that it suggests has exceeded earlier expectations for 2025. The post links this heightened activity to unexpected macro and geopolitical developments, including the collapse of Market Financial Solutions and U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran that reportedly led to closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The post points readers to 9fin’s European league tables for law firms advising on restructurings and lender-managed exchanges, noting leading positions for A&O Shearman and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP among others. These rankings appear to be based on categories such as completed mandates and new mandates, with further methodological details available via the linked criteria.
For investors, the emphasis on elevated restructuring volumes underscores 9fin’s positioning as a data and intelligence provider in a part of the credit cycle where demand typically rises for restructuring insights. If these trends persist, they could support increased engagement from law firms, lenders, and credit investors seeking granular deal data.
The focus on league tables also suggests 9fin is working to entrench itself as a reference point for market share and advisory activity in distressed and special situations. Strong adoption of these analytics products could enhance recurring revenue potential and reinforce the company’s competitive standing against other credit and legal-market data providers.
