She has acted on cross-border restructurings for bank coordinating committees in London, advised Her Majesty’s Treasury on the bail-in of the Bank of Cyprus, and acted on The Co-operative Bank’s recapitalisation plan and liability management exercise, involving a complex restructuring of high-yield listed securities implemented in part via a UK scheme of arrangement.

Ms Bromley was also involved in several high-profile insolvencies in the financial sector in Australia, including Lehman Brothers Australia, Allco Finance Group and Enron Australia Finance.

“Her appointment enhances the firm's capabilities in the region, particularly in front-end restructuring, and our expanded team is well positioned to advise clients across the full breadth of restructuring needs and all disciplines of a meaningful corporate restructure.”
