* Insolvency Lawyer Louise Verrill Joins Brown Rudnick in London Brown Rudnick, a premier international law firm, announced that Louise Verrill has joined the firm as a partner in the European Bankruptcy & Corporate Restructuring Group in the London office. 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. Prior to joining Brown Rudnick, Ms. Verrill was the head of Addleshaw Goddard's Insolvency Group in London. Ms. Verrill has a strong national and international client base. She has extensive knowledge of and experience in corporate recovery work, and advises on all aspects of recovery and insolvency-related matters (both contentious and non- contentious) including business restructure and turnaround. Her portfolio of clients includes hedge funds, investment banks and other financial institutions, distressed institutional investors, insolvency practitioners, and major corporations. Ms. Verrill is the second dedicated insolvency/restructuring partner to join the firm's growing European insolvency/restructuring practice in London since Peter J.M. Declercq was hired from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP to spearhead the launch of a resident London team in December 2005. Announcing the new appointment, Brown Rudnick CEO Joseph F. Ryan said, "In late 2005, we launched a strategic plan to establish and develop a London resident insolvency/restructuring team. Since then, we have attracted top legal talent, and the addition of Louise is a continuation of that trend. Louise's global presence and strong industry ties will be an asset to the practice, and to the firm." Ms. Verrill remarked, "Brown Rudnick's focused global expansion reflects the firm's growing reputation as a contender in the European legal marketplace. I look forward to working with a team of attorneys who have a reputation for smart business development, quality and superior client service."
