King & Spalding has appointed Amy Peters as a partner in the firm’s Corporate, Finance and Investments practice group in its Chicago office.
Peters will focus on representing credit funds, banks, investors and borrowers in a variety of leveraged finance transactions, as well as recapitalisations, workouts and restructurings.
“Amy adds depth to our finance bench, and will enhance our relationships with credit funds and other lender clients, particularly those based in Chicago,” says Carolyn Alford, lead of the Financial Services practice. “Amy also brings tremendous depth of experience in representing private equity funds and corporate clients in complex financings, restructuring and workouts, which is a growing area of our firm.”
Peters’ deal experience includes senior, subordinated, investment grade, bridge and mezzanine debt facilities – both secured and unsecured – that have ranged in size from several million to billions of dollars. Those deals span a variety of industries, including technology, telecommunications, manufacturing, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, retail, investment and financial services.
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to further build my practice, particularly on the lender and investor side, by working collaboratively at King & Spalding,” says Peters. “The firm has been aggressively growing its platform, and I want to play a meaningful role in the development of the Chicago office and the firm’s Corporate, Finance and Investments practice.”
