Restructuring team grows with addition of new partner in Melbourne

Alinta joins from the London office of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, after having previously worked and trained in Ashurst's offices in both London and Melbourne. With broad experience across corporate restructuring, refinancing, formal insolvency and special situations work specialising in complex multi-jurisdictional financial restructurings, Alinta advises a variety of stakeholders including banks, funds and debtors across a wide range of sectors. 

James Marshall, head of Ashurst's APAC restructuring and special situations group, commented:

"Alinta has strong commercial instincts and her expertise in large, complex cross-border restructuring matters will add bench strength to our practice in Australia and regionally. As the Australian restructuring and insolvency market continues to evolve as the UK and Europe have, her strong track record and market knowledge will be a valuable asset to the team."

Melbourne office managing partner, Ross McClymont added:

"We are delighted to be welcoming Alinta. The Melbourne market is a key Australian hub for fund, finance superannuation and corporate clients and with the addition of Alinta our practice will be further strengthened to continue to deliver a first class service."

Alinta said:

"Ashurst has a market-leading restructuring practice and so I am excited to be returning to Melbourne. I'm looking forward to bringing my international expertise home to Australia, working closely with colleagues across Ashurst's offices globally to even further develop the firm's offering."
