Kevin Heverin

Mr Heverin will work across Dentons’ London and Scottish offices, spending regular time with colleagues and clients in Scotland - where he has his family home - as the firm continues to invest in its global restructuring capability.

Recognised as a “Next Generation” partner in The Legal 500, Mr Heverin advises on complex financial restructurings, workouts, special situations investments, capital solutions transactions and distressed M&A. His clients include debtors, investors, creditor groups, sponsors and financial advisers.

Claire Armstrong, managing partner for Scotland at Dentons, said: “Kevin’s arrival presents a real opportunity for our Scottish business. His restructuring experience adds further depth to the support we can offer clients here, while also connecting them with the wider UK and international capability of the firm. We are delighted that Kevin will be spending regular time working with our teams and clients in Scotland.”

Susan Moore, UK, Ireland and Middle East practice group leader for restructuring, said: “Kevin adds further depth to a team that advises clients across the capital structure, from stressed to distressed situations, and strengthens our ability to respond to growing opportunities across our client base.”

Mr Heverin added: “Dentons has a clear strategy for the continued growth of its Restructuring practice. The depth of expertise across the firm’s international network means the team is very well placed to advise on the most complex cross-border restructurings. 

“I am looking forward to the opportunity to work closely with colleagues in the UK, including Scotland, across complementary areas including finance, corporate, funds and private equity to grow the practice and deliver co-ordinated advice to clients on a broad range of complex situations.”
