Legal Advice in Special Situations.

Senior executive legal counsel and project manager with significant professional experience in the banking and finance industry focusing on special situations, including distressed assets and insolvencies, wind-down scenarios as well as capital markets.

I am a trusted advisor and senior manager creating commercial value and providing personal and excellent legal advice.

Based on experience with a restructuring boutique firm, a major law firm, in-house with a large financial wind-down institution and as an independent lawyer I am familiar with various perspectives of advice and with different stakeholders’ interests.
