Schultz has more than 20 years' experience representing private equity clients in complex business transactions. These include domestic and cross-border mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, restructurings, recapitalizations, minority investments and other complex corporate transactions in the private equity space.

Hinker, a restructuring and insolvency partner, focuses his practice on complex Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings representing debtors, creditors, purchasers, lenders and other parties-in-interest in Chapter 11 reorganizations, out-of-court restructurings, and bankruptcy litigation. His experience spans several sectors such as retail, restaurant, hospitality, energy, and manufacturing.

Sharis Pozen, Regional Managing Partner for the Americas, said, "We are delighted to add two dynamic partners with such impressive experience in the vibrant private equity market, and ever-evolving restructuring space. We remain laser focused on recruiting top talent and continuing the momentum of strengthening our US team."

Jonny Myers, Global Head of Private Equity, said, "David is an excellent addition to our US private equity team. His experience complements our market leading global practice advising the world's most sophisticated private equity houses across business sectors and regions and is an important step in the further build out of our US PE practice, all in response to the growing demand of our global private capital clients. We're very excited to have this team join the firm."

Philip Hertz, Global Head of Restructuring and Insolvency, said, "These hires strengthen our private equity and transactional practices in the United States, and Matthew brings additional private equity experience and depth in restructuring and insolvency. Our US R&I team continues to grow as Matthew follows the recent hires of Brian Lohan and Maja Zerjal Fink in March."
