A host of firms including Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom and White & Case have taken roles on the approval of a bankruptcy plan for Central European Distribution Corporation (CEDC), one of the world’s largest vodka producers.

The plan, which was approved by a US court earlier this month and comes into effect on 31 May, will see Russian billionaire Roustam Tariko receive all of CEDC’s stock in return for a $277m (£183m) settlement with the Polish company’s creditors.
