Morgantown, W.Va., June 25 – O’Melveny announced that three highly ranked restructuring lawyers, Nancy A. Mitchell, Maria J. DiConza and Matthew Hinker, will join its bankruptcy and restructuring practice based in New York.

Mitchell, DiConza and Hinker come from the New York office of Greenberg Traurig, where they have been representing debtors, municipalities, acquirers and creditors in complex distressed situations, according to a press release.

Mitchell, who will join as a partner on July 2, was co-chair of Greenberg Traurig’s global restructuring and bankruptcy practice and a co-managing shareholder for its New York office. Before that, she was executive director of CIBC World Markets Corp.’s restructuring/leveraged finance team.

Mitchell has over 30 years of experience advising debtors in complex corporate restructurings and private equity funds in distressed M&A transactions and has considerable experience in municipal and tax-exempt restructurings.

DiConza, who will join as a partner on July 9, was a shareholder at Greenberg Traurig.

DiConza brings more than 20 years of diverse bankruptcy experience in complex financial restructuring and debtor and lender/creditor representations across industries including food services, municipal, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, financial services and for-profit education.

Hinker will join O’Melveny as a counsel on July 9.

Hinker focuses his practice on complex Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, adversary proceeding litigation and other insolvency-related matters.

At their prior firm, all three lawyers advised on restructuring the debt of Puerto Rico’s electricity and water utilities. O’Melveny advises the government of Puerto Rico in all aspects of the restructuring of its more than $120 billion of debt obligations, the largest in-court restructuring in U.S. history.

O’Melveny is a law firm based in Los Angeles.
