drive the ongoing expansion of its global insolvency and
corporate recovery practice.
The firm said in a statement that O’Driscoll will expand the
global restructuring offering in London, working closely with the
core restructuring teams in the Cayman Islands, the British
Virgin Islands and Dublin on both contentious and non-contentious
legal matters.
Prior to moving to London, O’Driscoll spent 18 months in the
firm's offices in the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands
as member of the global insolvency and corporate recovery
group.
Before joining Walkers, he spent six years at a "big five" law
firm in Dublin, followed by five years at international law firms
Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe and Proskauer in London.
“John’s presence in London further enhances our global
restructuring offering and our ability to service our European
clients’ restructuring needs. The London office is the ideal
location to grow this area of expertise as it provides greater
proximity to the firm's European client base and enables Walkers
to provide time zone-sensitive advice to European based clients,”
said Jack Boldarin, managing partner, London.
