A group of debt finance and restructuring experts with longstanding ties has reunited at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, with four partners coming aboard from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius in Hartford and London.

The move gives Akin Gump a new office in Connecticut’s capital. But more importantly, it gives the firm the ability to represent institutional investors from the “cradle to the grave,” according to incoming partner Renée Dailey, who was co-head of Morgan Lewis’ restructuring and bankruptcy practice.
