Eversheds Sutherland is pleased to announce that Renée Dailey has joined the US Finance Practice Group as partner. Ms. Dailey advises institutional investors in US, Australian and cross-border debt finance and financial restructuring matters. Her practice also includes advising insurance companies on their front-end investment structures, intercreditor arrangements and workouts. Prior to joining Eversheds Sutherland, Ms. Dailey was a partner at Akin Gump. She is the President and a board member of the American College of Investment Counsel.

“I am thrilled that Renée has joined our Finance Practice Group, which is experiencing dynamic growth brought on by expanding market opportunities,” said Mark D. Wasserman, Co-CEO of Eversheds Sutherland. “Renée’s first-rate experience representing institutional investors will deepen our restructuring services and benefit clients with needs throughout the restructuring process,” he said.

“Renée is a trusted advisor and team player who brings a market-leading practice representing insurance companies, noteholder groups and individual institutions in connection with restructuring matters,” said Peter A. Fozzard, Practice Group Leader Finance (US). “Her industry experience, which includes advising insurance companies on the investment side of their businesses, will greatly enhance our ability to support US and international clients in additional areas of their origination, restructuring and workout objectives.”

Ms. Dailey’s extensive knowledge base, built over two decades of advising insurance companies and institutional investors, will be a strong addition to the firm’s Insurance and other practice teams that advise such clients on complex business matters, including in connection with transactions, regulation, product design and taxation. For example, Ms. Dailey frequently represents private noteholder groups and bank groups in amendment and consent requests, complex out-of-court restructurings, and in-court proceedings in the US and internationally. She also advises clients on their general investment activities and proposed investment structures, with a focus on mitigating financial risk.

Ms. Dailey’s arrival to the Finance team follows the addition of senior counsel Jennifer Kimble, a corporate restructuring attorney, in May.
