The article provided background on Allen’s legal experience and included his motivations for transitioning to Barclay Damon.
Allen said, “Barclay Damon has a very developed sense of the critical interaction among practice areas regarding restructuring, bankruptcy and creditors’ rights matters, corporate work and commercial litigation and complex trials.” He continued, “I am very happy to be a part of those practice areas — which have been the keystones of my own practice for over 25 years. This seamless interaction in the service of clients cannot be emphasized enough — and it is a core element of both Barclay Damon's firm-wide ethos, and my own.”
The article also included details about Barclay Damon’s expansion efforts, citing the recent hire of Michael McGovern, also resident in the firm’s New York City office.
