Hoverman brings over 15 years of experience advising on complex transactions, including public company, international, dual track and similar situations, as well as restructuring and capital markets transactions.

He has an MBA from Columbia Business School and a JD from Columbia Law School, where he was a James Kent Scholar and John C. Olin Fellow. He received a BA in history from Yale University.
