Lucy F. Kweskin joined Katten as a partner in the firm’s insolvency and restructuring practice in New York. Most recently, Kweskin served as a global restructuring partner at Mayer Brown, where she represented clients in corporate restructuring matters.
Kweskin represents lenders and stakeholders across the corporate capital structure, including debtors, acquirers of distressed assets, official committees of unsecured creditors, landlords and secured creditors, and other parties of interest in complex insolvency and reorganization engagements. She is experienced in counseling major companies in both in-court and out-of-court restructuring matters, and is proficient in forbearance agreements, foreclosures, restructuring support agreements, debtor-in-possession financing, 363 sales and Chapter 11 plans, and frequently counsels clients in litigation involving bankruptcy-related disputes.
“Lucy is a talented and highly capable professional whom I’ve witnessed firsthand how she skillfully guides major companies through complex corporate restructurings,” Steven J. Reisman, co-chair of Katten’s insolvency and restructuring practice, said. “She is a creative and hard-working restructuring partner who exemplifies the best of legal talent and provides outstanding client service, which the Katten team strives to excel at for all clients.”
Kweskin is also a lecturer at Columbia Law School, where she co-teaches a seminar called “Advanced Bankruptcy: Deals and Issues in the Current Environment.” She was a member of the American Bankruptcy Institute’s 40 Under 40 Class of 2022.
“Katten is extremely proud and excited to have Lucy join its growing and strong insolvency and restructuring practice,” Reisman said.
