Eversheds Sutherland adds private credit partner

Tuesday, February 25, 2025
Opalesque Industry Update - Alex joins the global law firm's London office from US multinational law firm, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP where he was Counsel in its private capital team.

Prior to this, Alex trained as a solicitor at Eversheds Sutherland, later moving to international US law firm, Latham & Watkins LLP as an Associate in 2018 where he spent four years.

Alex provides strategic legal advice to private equity funds, focusing on buyouts, minority investments, consortium arrangements, and disposals across a diverse range of sectors including sports, media, technology, software, infrastructure, and insurance. With a proven track record of leading multi-billion-pound transactions, Alex has cultivated extensive experience and a profound understanding of the mid to large capital market landscape.

Richard Moulton, Partner and Co-Head of Global Corporate and M&A, Eversheds Sutherland, commented:

"Alex's proven track record and experience in private capital transactions make him both an exciting and notable addition to our team. His return underpins our commitment to enhancing our private capital capabilities and delivering service excellence to our clients. We look forward to the significant contributions we know Alex will bring to our team, our clients and the wider firm."

James Trevis, Partner and Head of Private Equity and Private Capital, Eversheds Sutherland, commented:

"It's wonderful to welcome Alex back. The skills and experience he brings perfectly complement that within our existing capability, while his impressive level of commercial insight will strengthen our client service offering on both a local and global level. There are numerous exciting opportunities within the mid to large capital market space that we are eager to capitalise on as a team. Having Alex on board will provide us with the additional competitive edge necessary to help us realise those opportunities and in turn deliver the very best outcomes for our clients."

Alex McCarney, Eversheds Sutherland, commented:

"I'm thrilled to be returning to Eversheds Sutherland. The firm has built a high performing and ambitious platform that I'm keen to leverage to further enhance our private capital capabilities. The opportunity of collaborating once again with such a talented team and former colleagues is equally exciting. I'm looking forward to applying the skills and experience I have acquired to help deliver exceptional client service, and to meet our clients' needs across all types of private capital transactions."
