Milwaukee, Nov. 9 - Fried Frank announced that Mark Wesseldine will join the firm's finance practice as a partner and will be based in London.

Previously a partner at Allen & Overy, Wesseldine specializes in leveraged finance transactions. Wesseldine has extensive experience in leveraged acquisitions and other event-driven financings. He has advised lenders, investors and borrowers, including financial institutions, sponsors and corporate entities, on multi-jurisdictional leveraged buyouts and restructuring transactions.

"[Wesseldine] brings his experience and expertise to a strong team [that has] been working on some of the most innovative and prominent transactions in the market, including advising on the largest European high yield transaction this year and the first 'amend and extend' bank amendments in Europe," said Justin Spendlove, managing partner at Fried Frank, in a news release.

The new appointment will help build and extend Fried Frank's global practice, according to Valerie Ford Jacob, chairperson, and Bill Reindel, head of finance.
