Akin Gump Strengthens Restructuring Practice with Addition of Partner Jacqueline Ingram in London
Financial restructuring powerhouse Akin Gump has bolstered its London office with the strategic hire of Jacqueline Ingram as a partner. Ingram, a seasoned restructuring expert, arrives from Milbank, adding further depth and expertise to the firm's market-leading practice.
Ingram's client roster perfectly aligns with Akin's strength, encompassing distressed investors, CLOs, creditor committees, and corporates navigating complex financial situations. Her industry-agnostic and geographically diverse practice positions her as a leading authority on downside protection, where she crafts strategic structures to maximise recoveries and safeguard value. Beyond restructuring, Jacquie's expertise extends to advising on special situations financings and direct lending, making her a one-stop shop for clients facing financial challenges.
“Macroeconomic pressures continue to fuel demand in the financial restructuring and special situations market. Our clients require sophisticated, trusted guidance to help navigate the implications and opportunities of such a dynamic landscape,” said Akin chairperson Kim Koopersmith. “Jacquie is a key player in the market and a terrific addition to our world-class financial restructuring practice.”
Akin financial restructuring partner James Terry adds, “Jacquie’s deal experience, investor-focused practice and client base, combined with her team-player approach, are tremendously valuable additions to our leading restructuring practice. With an ever-active market fueling client demand, Jacquie is a significant hire for our London office and global team, and we are delighted that she has chosen to join Akin.”
Speaking on her move to the firm, Jacquie noted, “Akin provides the ideal platform for me to continue growing my practice as part of an exceptional, market-leading team at a top-tier firm. I am excited to be joining Akin and look forward to working with the global financial restructuring team to deliver for our clients.”
