Managing partner Brad Adderley leads the team, which is also home to Clive Langley, for whom international finance is a strength, and Tammy Richardson-Augustus, who acts for clients in the energy, oil and gas, and maritime industries. Jerome Wilson is notably strong in ship financing matters, and he represents lenders, borrowers, and equity sponsors.
