Ms Devi Shah > Mayer Brown International LLP > London, England > Lawyer Profile

Drawing upon ‘great experience and knowledge’ of formal insolvency processes, as well as balance sheet restructurings and special situations, Mayer Brown International LLP provides a ‘pragmatic and solutions-focused’ service to a range of creditors, debtors and investors. In this context, the team is able to deliver holistic solutions, often working collaboratively with relevant practice groups across the firm’s full-service offering, including real estate and structured finance, as well as with international offices on cross-border mandates. Praised for her ‘ability to see the wood for the trees and to drive deals to completion’, Amy Jacks has a versatile offering for officeholders, banks and corporates, and is particularly effective at handling mid-market deals. Devi Shah is ‘very experienced’ across a range of non-contentious and contentious matters, including as these relate to pensions and insurance restructurings. Michael Fiddy co-heads the team alongside Jacks and Shah, and is particularly accomplished at advising on real estate restructurings.

Strengthened by its international reach, Mayer Brown International LLP‘s global insurance industry group is a popular choice for its ‘deep industry knowledge and trans-Atlantic coverage‘. Its main areas of focus are the insurance and reinsurance sectors, as well as ILS mandates. Overseeing the practice, Colin Scagell is a name to note for large cross-border insurance mandates. Rebecca Bothamley leads the firm’s UK transactional liability work and assists buyers of insurance products and insurers. The group also leans on the expertise of Devi Shah.
