David Wender Email & Phone Number

I joined Eversheds Sutherland's Finance Practice Group as a partner in the Atlanta office and as Head of Corporate Debt Advisory – Financial Restructuring Group. I am an accomplished financial restructuring and workout attorney with almost 20 years of experience in guiding clients through complex situations. Based on the ebb and flow of the economy and the evolution of client needs, I regularly advise clients on mergers and acquisitions, litigation, real estate financing, structured financing, workouts, restructuring, and bankruptcy. With a core focus on advising clients on maximizing value and minimizing risk, I bring diverse experience across industries and across practice areas to propose value-added solutions to meet and exceed my clients’ needs.At bottom, I enjoy serving as a sounding board and adviser to my clients in wide-ranging activities and bringing my diverse background and experiences to provide new perspective and to advise them on matters across all traditional practice groups. An unsolicited submission printed in Chambers USA probably said it best: "He understands the deal and the financial terms and repercussions. Clients love dealing with him because he is collected, smart and never caught by surprise." Before joining Eversheds Sutherland, I was a partner at Alston & Bird, and served as law clerk to the Honorable Mary F. Walrath, Chief United States Bankruptcy Judge for the District of Delaware. In my practice, I have been named a Fellow of the American College of Bankruptcy, recognized by Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business for excellence in the area of Bankruptcy/Restructuring since 2016, was named “Client Service All-Stars” in BTI Consulting Group’s 2019 annual survey of the nation’s top lawyers identified by corporate counsel as having “defined the new standard in client service excellence,” and have been named to The Best Lawyers in America© for 2018 in the area of Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor/Insolvency and Reorganization Law.
