Latham & Watkins on Monday announced the addition of O’Melveny & Myers’ U.S. restructuring practice chief, buttressing its own turnaround practice at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has put bankruptcy and restructuring specialists in high demand.

Suzzanne Uhland is joining Latham’s ranks in New York as a partner in its restructuring and special situations practice. At O’Melveny, Uhland was one of several lawyers who represented the government of Puerto Rico as the U.S. territory stares down more than $100 billion in debt.
