Norfolk, Va., Feb. 10 - Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP announced that Craig A. Wolfe has joined as a partner in the firm's finance and bankruptcy practice group, according to a press release.

He joins from Kelley Drye & Warren LLP and is based in the New York office.

Wolfe's practice focuses on representing debtors, creditors' committees, individual creditors, lenders, purchasers of assets and indenture trustees in complex Chapter 9, Chapter 11, Chapter 15 and cross-border insolvency cases and out-of-court workouts.
