Faegre Drinker—Susan Moore

Faegre Drinker Adds Leading Restructuring and Insolvency Partner Susan Moore in London

Susan Moore has joined Faegre Drinker as a partner in the finance and restructuring practice group in the London office. Moore comes to the firm from Stephenson Harwood, where she was head of the restructuring and insolvency practice. The firm also announced the addition of associate Bethan Griffith to the practice in London.

Moore leads on high-profile cross-border and domestic restructurings and corporate insolvencies. She devises, negotiates and implements restructuring solutions in a wide range of matters for clients across different jurisdictions and sectors, often involving large numbers of stakeholders. Moore also deals with significant domestic and cross border litigation in the U.K. and other jurisdictions arising in connection with restructurings and insolvencies.

Moore is the 12th partner to join Faegre Drinker in 2021 and the latest to join the firm’s growing London office, which has added 11 attorneys since January 2020.

Finance and restructuring practice group leader Mike Stewart said: “Sue is a remarkable talent who has served clients in some of the world’s most high-stakes and precedent setting restructurings and insolvencies. Her addition strengthens our practice’s international capabilities and our commitment to providing clients with the most sophisticated guidance in the market.”
