Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP

Sheppard's practice includes corporate work, real estate, intellectual property, and advice to healthcare, entertainment, media, and technology businesses. Its published restructuring work illustrates how those areas can intersect when a client faces financial or operational difficulty. The practice serves different participants in a distressed situation, including debtors, creditors, and committees.

Capabilities described in the firm's materials include bankruptcy litigation, distressed loan workouts, and restructuring advice across healthcare, retail, entertainment, and real estate. Its industry work also includes hospitals and health systems, alongside businesses whose assets or commercial relationships involve technology, content, or intellectual property.

For students, this offers a practical way to understand the firm's range. A restructuring can require litigation, financing analysis, property advice, and industry-specific knowledge in the same matter. Exploring the relevant practice and sector materials helps clarify how those skills connect and which part of the work aligns with a student's interests.
