By Tali Rackner

Norfolk, Va., Oct. 28 – McGuireWoods LLP announced the addition of restructuring and insolvency attorney Mark A. Platt, who joined the firm as a partner, according to a press release.

"We are committed to Texas, and Mark is a key addition for us," Akash Sethi, managing partner of the firm's Dallas office, said in the release.

"He not only adds an important dimension to our litigation practice, here and across the firm, but his experience will bring immediate benefits to our private equity, banking and other corporate clients."

Platt, who has substantial insolvency and commercial litigation experience, focuses on several industries, including telecommunications, real estate and energy. He has successfully litigated cases for senior lenders, private equity firms and a wide array of debtors and creditors in federal and state courts across the country, including in Texas, Delaware and New York.

He joins McGuireWoods from the Dallas office of Norton Rose Fulbright and is the current co-chair of the American Bar Association Bankruptcy and Insolvency Litigation Committee.

The addition continues McGuireWoods’ Texas expansion, which included the opening of a six-lawyer Dallas office in March. The firm began its expansion in Houston and Austin, where it also established a presence for its public affairs group, McGuireWoods Consulting.

McGuireWoods is a law firm based in Richmond, Va.
