Kevin’s perspective will be invaluable to our clients as we work with them to find solutions to their complex financing needs.”
“The reputation of PWP as a trusted, solutions-oriented and experienced partner in addressing the strategic challenges of diverse corporations was central to my decision to join the firm,” Lockhart said. “Their ability to provide clients with creative solutions is widely recognized, which has become even more important in the current environment.”
