Accomplished senior lawyer based in London, dually qualified in England & Wales and the Republic of Ireland, currently driving success in the alternative investments sector across Europe for Cerberus Capital Management L.P., a renowned private equity firm headquartered in New York. With a legal background in finance and real estate based transactions, I specialise in operating real estate and non-performing loan investments, asset/loan underwriting and acquisitions, joint ventures, financing/refinancing, and asset-management and workout across multiple jurisdictions (with a particular emphasis on commercial real estate, hotels and asset backed non-performing loan sectors).My expertise encompasses structuring individual and portfolio level asset backed loan and real estate acquisitions, structured finance and refinance, back-to-back lending, and the aggregation of operating real estate platforms, among other alternative investment strategies. Additionally, I have extensive experience in implementing effective workout and turnaround solutions, as well as a thorough grasp of associated cross-boarder acquisition structuring, regulatory and compliance related matters.In my current in-house capacity, I oversee both non-contentious and contentious legal activities across multiple European jurisdictions, with a primary focus on acquisition and financing/refinancing of operating real estate and asset backed loans on the one hand, and asset management and exits on the other. I excel in complex multi-jurisdictional transactions, while ensuring strict adherence to all associated tax, regulatory and compliance related standards.Prior to my current role, I honed my skills in private practice acting for lenders, corporates, directors, insolvency practitioners and alternative investors, specialising in banking and international finance. My focus on non-contentious lending, corporate recovery and restructuring, and insolvency-related activities, particularly within the hotel and commercial real estate sectors, equipped me with a nuanced understanding of the legal intricacies involved within the alternative investments arena. I am dedicated to delivering strategic legal counsel that adds commercial value and mitigates risk for organisations operating in the dynamic alternative investments landscape, leveraging my diverse skill set and extensive experience to achieve optimal outcomes for investors and other stakeholders.
