Introduction

Olga is the global practice head for the restructuring and special situations group.

Olga Galazoula is a partner in our restructuring and special situations practice, based in London. She specializes in balance sheet and operational restructurings, formal insolvencies and distressed investments, often with a cross-border element.

She has worked on several complex multi-stakeholder restructurings in the UK, Middle East and Continental Europe, with a particular focus on Southeast Europe during the height of the European sovereign debt crisis. Her client base spans international banks, private credit investors, listed companies and insolvency officeholders.

Clients praise her ability to provide strategic direction drawing on her experience from acting for stakeholders across the capital structure and describe her as a 'fierce client advocate'.
