Renée Dailey is a member of the firm's Financial Restructuring team. Described in Legal 500 as "an experienced young partner who always has a staggeringly impressive command of the facts," Ms. Dailey focuses her practice on representation of hedge funds and institutional investors in complex out-of-court restructurings and in-court proceedings both in the U.S. and internationally. Most recently, Ms. Dailey represented the Centro Senior Lender Group in an out-of-court debt-for-equity transaction that has been described as a template for future Australian restructurings. Ms. Dailey's practice also involves the representation of debtor-in-possession lenders in chapter 11 cases and strategic purchasers in 363 acquisitions.
