Willkie Farr & Gallagher added restructuring attorney Robin Spigel as a partner. She is based in Willkie’s New York office. With more than 25 years of bankruptcy and restructuring experience, Spigel represents companies, buyers, investors, lenders and other major creditors in Chapter 11 cases and out-of-court restructurings. She started her legal career at Willkie and previously served as counsel at the firm.
“We are delighted to welcome Robin back to Willkie,” Matthew Feldman, chairman and U.S. chair of the restructuring department for the firm, said. “She is a talented restructuring lawyer who has successfully led prominent matters across a range of industries. Her experience will provide tremendous value to our clients and complement the work of our market-leading global team.”
Spigel joins Willkie from A&O Shearman, where she was a partner. Her practice spans a range of industries, including pharmaceutical, upstream oil and gas, pipeline services, electric power, software, media, trucking, logistics and manufacturing, among others. She also represents professionals in various distressed company transactions. Spigel is a member of the New York City Bar Association and the American Bar Institute, and she is also a regular contributor to legal and restructuring industry publications.
“I’m thrilled to rejoin Willkie and its industry-leading restructuring team,” Spigel said. “The firm’s deep platform across a range of industries and markets and integrated global approach are well-suited to my practice. I look forward to contributing to the success of the Firm and our clients.”
