Carey Olsen Jersey corporate partner Kate Andrews has been recognised in the IFLR1000 Women Leaders list for 2021.

Described as the most comprehensive yet, this year's IFLR1000 Women Leaders features more than 750 lawyers from around the world who specialise in financial and corporate transactions and contract, licensing and regulatory project work.

IFLR1000 describes those recognised as 'an elite group of lawyers with outstanding reputations within their markets who either have expertise and experience of working on complex deals, or who have risen to hold leadership roles with their firms or their practices'.

Kate, who has more than 20 years' experience of cross-border corporate finance transactions, specialises in restructuring and corporate rescue, acquisition finance, fund finance and real estate finance. Kate has also been involved in a number of legislative proposals in Jersey.

Recent transactions she has acted on include advising the ad hoc group of creditors in relation to the debt-for-equity restructuring of Pizza Express, the creditors committee in relation to the c.£200 million debt restructuring of FatFace, and the committee of lenders in the debt restructuring of Travelex.

IFLR1000's research teams in Hong Kong, London, New York and Sofia analyse thousands of research submissions, conduct thousands of interviews with law firm partners, and survey tens of thousands of clients to determine IFLR1000's Women Leaders.
