What factor has most led to your success in the restructuring industry... I have a passion for what I do. The cross-border restructuring practice area has interested me since my early years of practicing law, and I have been fortunate to have worked on very high profile cases during my career. Most recently, I represented a German Foreign Representative who was a significant creditor in the Chapter 11 cases of China Fishery Group Limited (Cayman), et al., a restructuring which was recently highlighted by the 15th Turnaround Atlas Awards for Cross-Border Turnaround of the Year. Past examples include counseling the Italian Extraordinary Administrator of Parmalat S.p.A., a multinational dairy and food corporation, and its affiliates, in restructuring some of the company’s subsidiaries in the United States and Latin America. I also advised the foreign representative of Gruppo Covarra S.A. de C.V., in the first successful ancillary proceeding initiated by a “sindico” (a Mexican liquidator) in the United States since the enactment of Mexico's insolvency law, the Ley de Concurso Mercantiles. These examples are just some of the cases that have played a crucial role in igniting my passion for cross-border restructuring.

What do you most enjoy about your career... I enjoy meeting people in my practice area and exchanging innovative ideas to tackle the complex challenges faced by cross-border insolvency professionals in today's ever-evolving landscape.
