Eversheds Sutherland Launches New US Finance Practice Group

Eversheds Sutherland is pleased to announce the formation of a dedicated US Finance Practice Group to better serve clients both domestically and around the world in this fast-growing practice area. The new practice group includes a total of six partners and one senior counsel from the existing Corporate, Energy and Insurance Practice Groups and more than a dozen associates and counsel. The Finance Practice Group brings together decades of experience in borrower and lender (traditional and non-traditional) work across a broad range of industries, including energy, fintech, lender finance, telecommunications, agriculture, automotive, manufacturing and aviation. Additional attorneys from other practice groups will serve as adjunct members. 

"We are formalizing a very successful group that has been providing clients with excellent service for many years," said Mark D. Wasserman, Co-CEO of Eversheds Sutherland. “By taking this step we are fully aligning ourselves with our colleagues around the globe to continue to provide our clients a full-service solution to all of their financing needs."

"As cross-border finance continues to grow, we are excited to announce another area of focus for the firm that will ultimately better serve our clients," said Partner Peter A. Fozzard, who initially will lead the new practice group. "This group has seen tremendous growth over the past decade and has reached a critical size to put us in a position where we can now take this next step and better allocate our internal resources and pass on the benefits to our clients."
