Client quoted in Chambers USA 2022'Erin has a great disposition and works very hard to get a deal done.' 'She has great people skills; even in litigious atmospheres she lets drama pass over her.'
With over two decades of experience, Erin Brady has fast become one of California’s leading lawyers representing clients in critical moments of distress.
Erin represents corporate debtors, lenders, investors, independent directors, creditors’ committees, individual creditors, and others in high-stakes corporate restructurings and bankruptcy litigation. While she has extensive experience across all industry sectors, she has exceptional expertise in the life sciences and retail sectors. Clients rely on her strategic insights, pragmatic approach, and exceptional advocacy.
She has played a key role in many of the most high-profile and complex chapter 11 cases over the past 25 years, including American Apparel, Toys R Us, Achaogen, Adelphia Communications, Chemtura, Fleming Companies, All American Oil & Gas, CarbonLite, Quiznos, Rescap, Relativity Media, Conseco, Golfsmith, and Thornburg Mortgage.
As a leader in the California restructuring community (as well as New York’s, where she is licensed to practice), Erin is highly active in improving diversity in the restructuring community, leading the Pipeline Subcommittee for the American Bankruptcy Institute’s Diversity & Inclusion Working Group. She is also at the forefront of developing Hogan Lovells’ internal diversity efforts in the U.S. and takes pride in serving as a mentor for the women in her practice.
Erin’s wide-spanning knowledge of the finance sector and commitment to excellence for her clients have been recognized with many of the legal industry’s most prestigious awards. In 2020, Finance Monthly recognized her as “Finance Lawyer of the Year”. She has also been recommended in The Legal 500 and Chambers rankings for corporate restructuring and was among the Global Restructuring Review’s and Law360’s “Top 40 Under 40” restructuring lawyers.
