Biography

Emily is an associate in our Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy group. She represents financial institutions and other creditors in restructuring efforts and transactions, with a concentration on corporate bankruptcies.

My focus

I focus my practice on representing companies and financial institutions in a variety of corporate insolvency matters, Chapter 11 restructurings, and related litigations and transactions. I have experience in creditor-side representations in some of the nation’s largest recent bankruptcy proceedings, wherein I help clients navigate all of the complexities and legal risks related to financially troubled companies.

Prior to joining Nixon Peabody, I advised first- and second-lien lenders and global insurance providers in several high-profile restructurings and represented official committees in complex Chapter 11 bankruptcies.

Looking ahead

As we collectively navigate a post-pandemic world, the only certainty is the uncertain impact COVID-19 will have on global markets and economies. Given bankruptcies and insolvencies are closely tied to economic market conditions, factors like inflation, supply chain disruptions, and staffing shortages will play a large role in the financial health of a wide range of businesses in the years to come.
