/My focus

Corporate Trustees

I represent corporate trustees in all aspects of their business, assisting in the creation, administration, and dissolution of traditional and non-traditional corporate trust products; developing clear and protective documentation for the trustee role; and defending trustee institutions from inappropriate risk. In the past few years, I’ve participated in the pre-market warehousing and subsequent issuance of several billion dollars of securities in new CLO, agency, and corporate debt issuances.

Issuers

In recent years, I have also represented and advised special purpose, off-shore, and on-shore issuers and co-issuers in the structured finance and insurance-linked securities markets with respect to disputes arising from the issuance, sale, and administration of structured and insurance-linked products, including securities litigation filed in New York, Tennessee, and Florida.

/Looking ahead

I see an increasingly complex environment for fiduciaries in today’s global markets. I focus on helping my clients achieve their business objectives safely.
