Lazard appoints senior advisor

Financial advisory firm Lazard has hired Christopher Mallon as a senior adviser, effective immediately. Mallon has more than 30 years of restructuring advisory experience, serving in senior roles advising a number of companies. Mallon worked most recently as a senior restructuring partner at the global law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.

As a senior adviser, Mallon will provide strategic counsel to Lazard’s global restructuring practice and its clients across industry groups. Based in London, he will work closely with Cyrus Kapadia, UK CEO of financial advisory, and Richard Stables and David Burlison, restructuring managing directors, as well as Lazard’s restructuring, M&A and capital markets professionals across Lazard’s global network.

David Burlison, managing director and co-head of Lazard’s EMEA restructuring practice, says: “Chris is an outstanding restructuring adviser with a formidable reputation built over decades advising on many high-profile assignments. His experience and connectivity will bolster our market-leading global restructuring practice and strengthen our ability to help clients navigate the fundamental challenges impacting their businesses.”

Mallon adds: “Lazard is recognised as the leading global restructuring advisory firm. Having worked alongside and across the table from Lazard on many occasions, I have experienced first-hand the quality of the restructuring team and how it works closely with Lazard’s industry groups and capital advisory professionals. I look forward to leveraging my experience for the benefit of Lazard’s clients.”

Mallon is a member of the Insolvency Lawyers Association, the International Insolvency Institute and the City of London Law Society. Mallon will continue as non-executive director to GCX Limited, a role he has held since May 2019. He will also continue as co-editor of ‘The Law and Practice of Restructuring in the UK and US’.

Lazard has advised on many large and complex restructuring assignments, including recent examples such as Abengoa, Forever 21, Global Cloud Xchange, Interserve, OTAS, PG&E, Seadrill, and Weatherford International.
