The practice is led by Stacey Jones, a highly respected Partner who regularly handles cross-border insolvency, refinancing, and restructuring issues. Stacey’s strategic judgment and client-focused approach have earned her praise from The Legal 500 research team, who highlighted:
“Stacey Jones is a strong member of the insolvency team. She is a truly fantastic partner. She has the strength to deliver unwanted advice and the strategic judgement to navigate difficult situations and guide clients toward a sound strategy. She is a good communicator, and her friendly style makes her genuinely enjoyable to work with.”
