Dentons Bolsters Insolvency Team With The Appointment Of Sue Moore

Dentons, the International Law Firm, has recalled Partner Sue Moore in its London office, luring her back from Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath. Moore will lead Dentons’ restructuring and insolvency team across the UK, Ireland, and the Middle East.

Her return follows a three-year stint at Faegre Drinker, where she played a central role in handling insolvency litigation cases. Prior to that, Moore held leadership positions at Stephenson Harwood, including heading the global finance practice and leading the restructuring and insolvency team. Her journey to Dentons began in 2012 when she joined the firm from the legacy partnership of SNR Denton.

Louisa Caswell, a Partner at Dentons who oversees the disputes division in the UK, highlighted the significance of Moore’s expertise. With forecasters predicting a surge in restructurings and insolvencies, Moore’s reputation as an exceptional restructuring and insolvency lawyer will bolster the firm’s offerings to clients navigating a challenging and complex landscape.

Moore’s advisory prowess spans financial distress, restructurings, corporate insolvencies, and insolvency litigation. Notably, she provided Counsel to the administrators of Greensill Capital, a fintech company that met its demise, handling litigation brought forth by creditors.

Additionally, Moore played a critical role in advising a consortium of lenders during Cineworld’s restructuring, which involved both US Chapter 11 proceedings and UK administration proceedings.

Beyond her legal practice, Moore actively contributes to the International Women’s Insolvency & Restructuring Confederation in London, serving as a mentoring co-chair. She also brings her insights to the Insolvency Rules Committee, a body that provides recommendations to the UK Lord Chancellor regarding secondary insolvency legislation.
