Top-Rated Banking and Capital Markets Lawyer, Watson, Joins London Office

LONDON - Andrew Watson, a highly regarded international banking and projects lawyer, has become the newest addition to the international firm of McDermott Will & Emery. Mr. Watson will join the Firm's London office as a partner, and will add to its steadily increasing number of lawyers, which has grown to 50 in 18 months.

"McDermotts have the commitment and enthusiasm that becomes a driving force in this market," said Mr. Watson, who in recent months has been closely involved in a number of high profile infrastructure projects around the world, particularly in Southern Europe.

McDermott Will & Emery's London banking team will undoubtedly be able to utilise Watson and his experience as they are currently advising on one of the world's largest debt restructurings, acting for KAMCO (Korea Asset Management Corporation) on the proposed purchase and restructuring of the Daewoo Group debt.
