Akin Gump Strengthens London Restructuring Team with Partner Jonny Woods
"Akin Gump adds partner Jonny Woods in London to its financial restructuring practice, where he will work on creditor-side cross-border restructurings and capital solutions."
Jonny reunites with Neil Devaney, Lois Deasey and Matt Benson, who recently rejoined the firm to lead Akin’s Band 1 ranked London restructuring practice. Having worked alongside that team for more than a decade, Jonny advises many of the world’s most sophisticated credit investors on complex cross-border restructurings and capital solutions. He joins Akin as a partner from Weil, Gotshal & Manges, further strengthening the firm’s creditor-side financial restructuring platform in London.
