Sidley is pleased to announce that Anthony Grossi has joined the firm’s Global Restructuring group in the New York and Washington D.C. offices. Previously, Mr. Grossi was a partner in the Restructuring Practice Group at Kirkland & Ellis LLP.

Mr. Grossi primarily advises distressed companies in Chapter 11 reorganizations and out-of-court restructurings. His experience includes representing debtors and significant creditor groups in large and complex Chapter 11 cases. Prior to his most recent position, he served as the bankruptcy counsel for several years to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary.

“Anthony has represented debtors in some of the most complicated and high-profile Chapter 11 cases in recent years,” said Jennifer Hagle, a member of Sidley’s Executive Committee and Global Restructuring group. “That extensive experience will immediately contribute to the growth of our company-side restructuring practice and along with his creditor experience, significantly increase our bench strength in the global restructuring market.”

The Global Restructuring group has over 50 full-time lawyers in North America, Europe, and Asia representing key constituents in the restructuring of large and mid-size companies.

The addition of Mr. Grossi follows the firm’s recent addition of partner Tom Califano to the Global Restructuring group in New York and Dallas.
