BCLP Enhances Financial Transactions, Bankruptcy & Creditors’ Rights Group with New Partner in San Francisco
Today the international law firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLP) announced that noted finance, bankruptcy and insolvency lawyer Scott Olson has joined the firm as a partner in the San Francisco office. Olson joins from Vedder Price, where he co-led the West Coast practice of the firm’s Insolvency, Bankruptcy & Corporate Reorganization Group.
Olson advises financial institutions through complex transactions with both healthy and distressed companies. He regularly represents banks and non-bank lenders to structure and document middle-market finance transactions, including asset-based loans, cash-flow loans, and other credit facilities. In addition, he is retained frequently as outside counsel for companies seeking to improve financial performance and mitigate business risks. He counsels boards of directors, business owners and shareholders on fiduciary duties and general corporate responsibilities.
In addition to his strong finance practice, Olson has deep experience in bankruptcy and insolvency matters. He regularly acts on behalf of secured or unsecured creditors and trustees in commercial bankruptcy proceedings nationwide. He represents banks, hedge funds, private equity firms, special situation lenders, bondholder constituencies and other financial institutions in large and complex Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, receivership matters and loan workouts. He also has substantial litigation experience in all aspects of creditors’ rights in state and federal jurisdictions, including complex financial litigation, loan enforcement matters and defense of lender liability claims.
“We are delighted to have Scott join us in the San Francisco office, where his extensive experience in insolvency, bankruptcy and corporate reorganization will be an asset to our clients firmwide,” said Partner and Global Department Leader – Corporate and Finance Transactions Stephanie Hosler. “We look forward to welcoming Scott to BCLP.”
Olson is also deeply involved in professional and civic organizations. He is a board member of the Northern California Chapter of the Turnaround Management Association, having formerly served as Board President and as a member of the Global Board of Trustees. He also served as Chair of the Board of Directors for Raphael House, a family shelter in Northern California with a mission to help low-income families and families experiencing homelessness by achieving stable housing and financial independence.
“I’m excited to be joining BCLP at this time, particularly as the firm is advancing with its long-term strategic growth plans and vision for the future,” Olson said. “I look forward to helping the firm build on its already strong finance and restructuring practice and providing clients with all of the resources and services they may need.”
