Crowell & Moring

Partner trio bolsters restructuring & infrastructure practices

International firm Crowell & Moring LLP has welcomed a trio of partners to the London office—Robin Baillie, Paul Muscutt, and Cathryn Williams.

All three join the firm from Squire Patton Boggs, where Cathryn headed the restructuring and insolvency practice, and Robin led the infrastructure group. Paul (pictured, centre) and Cathryn (left), who will officially join on 5 March, will take up roles in the financial transactions practice, advising banks, corporations, and private equity and distressed lenders on all aspects of non-contentious and contentious insolvency, restructuring, fraud, and asset recovery.

Robin (right) has joined Crowell & Moring’s energy practice. He advises project sponsors, government bodies, lenders, contractors, and operators on a wide range of international infrastructure projects involving energy, roads, rail, healthcare, education, and housing.

Robin said: ‘This is an outstanding opportunity to join a highly regarded international firm that is on the move in London. Having access to a strong US energy/projects practice is important to growing my practice.’

Philip T. Inglima, chair of Crowell & Moring, commented: ‘We are thrilled to welcome this elite group to our firm. Cathryn and Paul are a dynamic duo with an established reputation in the restructuring and insolvency arena. Robin is a well-respected counselor who deepens our ability to advise on energy and infrastructure projects, particularly in the UK and North America. Their combined experience will be a great benefit to our clients navigating both infrastructure and financial services issues in the UK.’
