Proskauer, a leading international law firm, is pleased to welcome restructuring and special situations partner Clare Cottle to its London office. With deep experience spanning cross-border and domestic financial restructurings, special situations funding, and complex direct loans, Clare will work alongside Proskauer’s rapidly expanding Global Finance practice.

A well-established credit-focused restructuring expert, Clare’s arrival will bolster the Firm’s restructuring and special situations credentials in London and further strengthen the Firm’s Global Finance practice.

“Clare’s appointment is a significant enhancement to our global finance and restructuring team, following the outstanding partner additions in our London office of late,” said Tim Mungovan, Chair of Proskauer. “Clare’s expertise perfectly aligns with our strategic vision to own the life cycle of private credit and her proven expertise will be invaluable in generating increased opportunities for restructuring and special situations financing work.”

We are dedicated to assembling a team that provides comprehensive finance solutions to clients globally regardless of financing structure, and Clare’s expertise is essential to advancing that mission, said Philip Bowden, co-head of the Global Finance practice at Proskauer. “Clare joining the Firm shows our continued commitment to our clients as we continue to expand our offering in all the areas that they need from their global external counsel. I am excited to see the contribution she will make to the firm.

Proskauer has a longstanding reputation for servicing the private capital client community, and I am eager to contribute to its strategic approach to serving the industry, said Clare. They offer a broad finance platform, combining a highly regarded private credit practice with deep expertise and scale in the high-yield bond and syndicated loan markets and a growing and highly credible structured financing practice. Proskauer is creating something distinctive, and I am proud to be part of it.

Clare is the latest addition to Proskauer’s growing finance capabilities in London.
