By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., April 2 – Schulte Roth & Zabel said Kristine Manoukian joined as a partner in the business reorganization group, resident in the firm’s New York office, according to a press release.

Manoukian joins the firm from Clifford Chance, where she was a partner in the financial restructuring group.

Specializing in corporate restructuring and bankruptcy, Manoukian represents informal and official committees of creditors, as well as debtors, secured and unsecured creditors, lenders, agents, acquirers, insolvency officeholders and other entities on a range of domestic and cross-border restructuring and other matters.

Her notable recent representations include a syndicate of major international bank lenders in the Chapter 11 cases of a deepwater drilling company and its affiliates, and an ad hoc group of bondholders and new money lenders in connection with the multibillion dollar global restructuring of a multinational corporation.

“We are delighted to have Kristine join our team. She brings significant experience from her work on financial restructurings covering an array of industries that have been impacted by insolvencies in recent years,” Adam C. Harris, chair of the business reorganization group, said in the release.

Lawyers in the business reorganization group provide critical counsel to domestic, foreign and international secured creditors, unsecured creditors, ad hoc groups, debtor-in-possession lenders, acquirers, equity holders, plan sponsors and others in Chapter 11 reorganizations and out-of-court workouts, and they regularly advise on acquisitions and divestitures of troubled companies and their assets.

The firm also counsels clients on litigation finance opportunities and how the bankruptcy overlay impacts this particularized form of litigation finance.

Schulte Roth & Zabel is a full-service law firm with offices in New York, Washington and London.
