Louise Verrill Biography :

Ms. Verrill is considered by insolvency industry experts to be one of the top legal minds in this field. Her high profile extends to her role as President of the Insolvency Lawyers' Association, where she is the first woman to be elected to this prestigious position.

Ms. Verrill has extensive knowledge and experience of all areas of non-contentious and contentious turnaround and insolvency matters. Ms Verrill has been involved in many high profile insolvency and restructuring assignments. These include turnarounds, workouts and solvent restructuring, including debt for equity swaps; facilitating restructuring through out of court processes, section 110 MVLs, section 425 schemes and CVAs; credit risk management in financings and commercial contracts; cross border insolvency; other insolvency issues such as security reviews involving remote opinions; and devising deal structures in corporate restructuring and insolvency situations.

Ms. Verrill has developed a wide national and international client base comprising banks, financial institutions, bond holders, insolvency practitioners, major corporations, venture capitalists, stakeholder directors and distressed companies.

With regard to her international focus, Ms. Verrill advises clients on the impact of the EC Regulation, centre of main interest (COMI) and establishment issues, and primary and secondary insolvency proceedings across European jurisdictions and US Chapter 11 and Chapter 15 issues.

As a result of the new Pensions Act, Ms. Verrill has particular extensive experience and has been involved in many restructuring assignments advising pension trustees, debtor companies, financiers, creditor groups, private equity houses and the Pension Protection Fund (PPF).

As part of the firm's Structured Resolution Group, Ms. Verrill helps to analyze the issues surrounding the subprime market collapse in an effort to help clients identify and execute on arbitrage and repackaging strategies.

Prior to joining Brown Rudnick, Ms. Verrill was the Chair of Addleshaw Goddard's Insolvency Group in London.

Ms. Verrill speaks conversational German.
