Over three decades of experience in handling complex corporate and financial restructuring matters in nearly sixty (60) countries, including the largest, most populous and fastest growing economies globally, enables me to navigate clients through often arcane, convoluted legal and business environments to achieve optimal results. Experience includes large national and international restructuring cases across virtually every industry on behalf of sovereigns, debtors, creditors and creditors' committees, shareholders and boards of directors in the following sectors: banking and financial, computer and technology, corporate, defense, energy (oil & gas, public utilities) and natural resources (aluminum, copper and uranium mining), healthcare, real estate, retail, and transportation (airlines, rail and bus lines).For over 25 years, I have regularly interfaced with government ministries, central banks and other local public and private stakeholders to develop practical solutions to address systemic problems of corporate, financial and state-owned enterprise distress, including designing legal mechanisms to support rapid NPL resolution and restructurings, widescale privatizations, and to promote credit access, and effective risk management and debt resolution strategies. Some post-2008 assignments have included banking sector, NPL resolution and restructuring (banking, corporate and SOE) projects in Angola, Azerbaijan, China, Croatia, Kuwait, Montenegro, Serbia, South Africa, Turkey and Ukraine.
