Bird & Bird LLP

Partner

I am a partner in, and Co-Head of, our Finance & Financial Regulation Group here at Bird & Bird in London and I am also Co-Head of our International Restructuring & Insolvency Group.

On the finance side, I advise lenders and borrowers on transactions ranging from acquisition finance, sports finance and real estate finance to asset-based lending. Football finance in particular is a strong specialism and I act for various banks and clubs on cross border and domestic transfer and media financings.

On the restructuring & insolvency side, I advise banks, funds, insolvency practitioners, distressed corporates, directors and creditors (secured and unsecured) on a wide variety of situations including financial restructurings and formal insolvency procedures. Particular areas of expertise are in distressed situations in the retail and aviation sectors.
