Ms Dean joined Corrs in 2015, after returning to Australia from London. While in London, Ms Dean advised on a range of complex restructures in the wake of the global financial crisis, according to a statement from Corrs.
In addition, Ms Dean advised lenders on the insolvency issues associated with public-private partnerships and documented cross-border restructures involving assets throughout Europe and the US, the firm noted. “Specialising in commercial litigation and insolvency and restructuring, Michelle is widely recognised in the Australian market as a first class litigator,” said CEO and partner of Corrs, John W.H. Denton AO.
“Michelle has spent her career representing large corporate groups in complex matters with lean and focussed teams, delivering client-driven and commercially aware outcomes.
“Michelle’s elevation to partner will enable us to present a truly national restructuring and insolvency team to clients across the breadth of Australia.”
