(Next Generation Partners)Now headed by Kevin Heverin, following the retirement from the partnership of Alex Wood (he continues in a senior consultancy role), Shearman & Sterling LLP‘s small core restructuring team is best-suited to handling special situations/transactional distressed work, which lends itself to a more collaborative approach with the firm’s broader corporate and finance functions. In this capacity, the team is well-versed at handling Middle Eastern situations and is also able to leverage the firm’s US resources to good effect on transatlantic mandates. Sam Brodie returned to Akin in September 2022, while Helena Potts joined Paul Hastings LLP in February 2023.
