Clifford Chance recruits KWM partner
Clifford Chance has expanded its partnership with the appointment of a finance specialist, who joins from King & Wood Mallesons.
Elizabeth Hundt Russell will take to Clifford Chance’s Sydney practice in late March 2021 in a move that aims to “further strengthen” the firm’s “regional sponsor-side offering and its position as the pre-eminent adviser on the financing of complex transactions worldwide”.
“She brings an impressive record of advising private equity funds, sponsors and corporations as well as local, regional and global financial institutions on a range of complex matters. She will be boosting one of the market-leading leveraged financing teams in the APAC region. We are thrilled to have her join us.”
Co-head of the Asia-Pacific corporate practice Andrew Crook noted Ms Hundt’s strong relationships and knowledge of the local market will be an invaluable asset.
“Her stellar record of working with domestic and international sponsors on critical and complex matters will be key as we focus on advising the world’s foremost financial investors,” he said.
“Our corporate practice is extremely excited about the opportunity to work alongside such a high calibre finance expert who brings wide-ranging experience and complementary skills to the firm.”
Co-head of the Asia-Pacific finance practice Anthony Wang added: “We are excited to welcome Elizabeth to our practice and firm. Her knowledge and enthusiasm will complement our existing offering and, in particular, our leveraged finance capability across the region. Her expertise will keep us at the cutting edge of the global leveraged finance market.”
