Based in the Atlanta office, Ms. Barav-Johnson represents clients in corporate restructuring, bankruptcy and other insolvency-related matters, with particular experience focused on corporate debtors, creditors and creditors’ committees in Chapter 11 proceedings and complex bankruptcy litigation.

Ms. Barav-Johnson is the tenth attorney to join the US Finance Group since its formation in early 2022, continuing the team’s strategic focus on providing comprehensive counsel to clients that are routinely engaged in market-leading and high-stakes financial transactions.

“I am excited that Dahni is joining our US Restructuring and Insolvency team and our larger US Finance Practice Group, where she will be a strong adviser to clients navigating an increasingly complex global financial landscape,” Mr. Wender said. “Dahni’s diverse, cross-industry and cross-border experience will help us further develop and expand our out-of-court and in-court capabilities to support clients with a truly broad restructuring practice in key US markets.”

“I am thrilled that Dahni has chosen Eversheds Sutherland as the next chapter in her well-established legal career,” Mr. Meyers said. “Having worked with Dahni the past few years, I have observed her legal acumen, client-centric approach and many successful client outcomes and I look forward to bringing on her deep experience that will benefit our current and future clients.”
