Riemer & Braunstein, a law firm concentrating on the representation of financial institutions and debt and equity funds in national and regional commercial finance and real estate finance transactions, recently announced the promotion of five lawyers to senior partner and two lawyers to partner. The promotions reflect a continued emphasis on the growth of the firm’s national finance practice.
“This year’s promotions to senior partnership and partnership are particularly significant to our geographic platform and reflect the strength of our summer program, law school hiring practices, and our commitment to seek excellent lateral candidates in our core practice areas,” said Kevin Lyons, a member of the firm’s Executive Committee and a Co-Chair of the firm’s Real Estate Finance practice area.
One of the New York partners promoted to senior partner is Anthony B. Stumbo. Anthony graduated from Fordham University School of Law in 2000. Since joining the firm in 2011, Anthony has practiced in the firm’s Commercial Finance practice area, Loan Restructuring & Workouts practice area, and Bankruptcy practice area.
“Anthony has earned the trust of clients and colleagues alike. The breadth of his experience in commercial finance, including in distressed borrower situations, will facilitate our continued growth and service to a wide range of institutional and non-bank lenders alike,” said Kevin Murtagh, a member of the firm’s Executive Committee and a Co-Chair of the firm’s Commercial Finance practice area.
Anthony regularly represents banks and other financial institutions in structuring and documenting corporate finance transactions on a local, regional, national and cross-border basis. In addition, Anthony serves as counsel to clients in complex workout and restructuring matters, including debtor-in-possession, 363 acquisition, cash collateral and exit facilities. He also performs transactional work for sellers, purchasers, lenders, and secured and unsecured creditors of financially troubled companies, non-judicial restructurings, and Chapter 11 reorganizations throughout the United States.
