Corporate finance lawyer Kimberly Perdue joined Norton Rose Fulbright‘s Dallas office as a partner.
Perdue, who was previously a partner at Kirkland and Ellis, represents private equity funds, financial institutions, institutional investors and public and private issuers in a variety of financing transactions both in the United States and globally with a focus on acquisition financing, investment grade lending, cash flow based lending, asset-based lending (including reserve-based lending for oil and gas transactions), mezzanine financing and subordinated debt financing.
In addition, Perdue is experienced in navigating the specific types of transactions and challenges that might arise in distressed debt situations, including handling liability management transactions and out-of-court workouts and negotiations, as well as in-court debtor-in-possession and exit financings on behalf of both issuers and investors. She also regularly counsels clients on an array of working capital arrangements, debt compliance matters and related corporate governance matters.
“We are delighted to welcome Kimberly, who is an exceptional lawyer, to the Dallas office of Norton Rose Fulbright,” Jeff Cody, U.S. managing partner at Norton Rose Fulbright, said. “Adding top-tier practitioners like Kimberly helps us maintain a competitive edge, as her corporate finance experience will benefit our clients in the U.S. and around the world.”
“There is a great deal of activity in the finance space right now, especially as companies consider their options in the face of higher interest rates,” Stephen Castro, U.S. head of finance at Norton Rose Fulbright, said. “Kimberly has a wealth of experience that will greatly enhance our capabilities and I am delighted to add her to our thriving team.”
“I have known and worked with several Norton Rose Fulbright lawyers for many years, and I am excited about joining the firm,” Perdue said. “I know that my clients will also be pleased about the global reach and full-service capabilities the firm provides.”
