Law firm Morrison & Foerster (MoFo) has appointed Dennis Jenkins, a financial restructuring lawyer with 20 years of experience, as a partner in the firm’s New York-headquartered business restructuring and insolvency group.
Jenkins, who comes to the firm from WilmerHale, is the fourth new business restructuring and insolvency partner to join Morrison & Foerster over the last year, following the arrival of Jonathan Levine in New York, and Peter Declercq and Sonya Van de Graaff in London.
“I am pleased to welcome Dennis to our growing global restructuring team,” says Brett Miller, managing partner of the New York office and a partner in the business restructuring and insolvency group. “Dennis is a well-respected bankruptcy and reorganisation lawyer with an exceptional reputation. His understanding of complex issues will be invaluable to our clients, particularly at a time of continued global economic uncertainty.”
“The outstanding expertise and diverse experience that Dennis has with bondholders and indenture trustees deepens our already strong business restructuring and insolvency bench, and is an ideal complement to our existing platform,” says James Peck, global co-chair of the business restructuring and insolvency group and a former bankruptcy judge who presided over the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. “We are confident that Dennis will be instrumental in further enhancing our practice’s footprint globally.”
