About

Evan R. Berman serves as the chief legal officer for StormHarbour Securities, an independent global markets and financial advisory firm founded by financial experts Antonio Cacorino, Fredrick Chapey and Sohail Khan. The firm provides premium financing and structuring solutions across the balance sheet and vast experience in the credit equity and alternative markets, serving an institution with 160 professionals across offices in New York, London, Lisbon, Madrid, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Dubai. Berman states that the speedy rate that the company was expanding globally, and the young entrepreneurial boutique atmosphere made StormHarbour a ‘great fit’ for him. Berman went on to have a number of notable feats and litigation victories that acted as significant wins in assisting the strategic transactions in the media financing division of the company. He also worked on assisting in the development in solar power plants in Pakistan and a Japanese hedge fund and other strategic initiatives, adding to a diversifying portfolio. When advising other in-house lawyers, he says: ‘Quantifying risk is a big positive. Don’t look at yourself as just a lawyer, as lawyers have a tendency to not want to chime in with your own take on these issues. The principles appreciate that you are invested and have a stake in the business. At the end of the day it breeds better results’. Berman can also point to a sucessful career in private practice, where he previously worked at SNR Denton as a managing associate, and as an associate at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.
