Leading global law firm Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer announced today that Carole Nerguararian will be joining the firm as a partner in the Finance and Restructuring practice, based in Paris.   

Carole joins the firm from Linklaters, where she is currently a partner in the Restructuring and Insolvency practice in Paris. Covering the full spectrum of financial and operational restructurings, her practice includes debt and equity funding, insolvency-related litigation and distressed disposals. She specialises in complex domestic and cross-border restructurings in both out-of-court and formal insolvency proceedings. 

With a broad, sector-agnostic practice, Carole advises clients across a range of diverse industries, from energy, including oil and gas, to chemicals, hydrogen, retail, pharmaceuticals, real estate and automotive.  

Carole is recognised as a ‘Leading Partner’ for Insolvency by the Legal 500 and is ranked for Insolvency/Restructuring by Chambers & Partners. 

Régis Oréal, Managing Partner of Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer's Paris office, said: “Carole is a fantastic addition to our Paris Finance and Restructuring team. She is technically able, personable, commercially minded and driven - qualities that make her a great fit. Her experience both complements and advances our offerings, acting for debtors and creditors. We warmly welcome her to the firm." 

Carole’s arrival reflects a further investment in the firm's Finance and Restructuring capabilities across its European and UK offices, following the hire of Laure Bonin in Paris, Emanuela da Rin and her team in Milan, Stuart Brinkworth in London, and Laurent Massinon in Luxembourg.
