Stewart began his legal career in Milbank LLP’s New York and Singapore-based capital markets groups. He earned his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center.
“[Kramer Levin is] building up what I think is going to be an extremely strong practice group in [restructuring and liability management] but still being very nimble and very hungry and looking to build market share,” he said. “And that really appeals to me as an entrepreneurial person to be out there and really trying to help build up a practice.”
In a statement, bankruptcy and restructuring co-chair Amy Caton said Stewart “enhances our ability to think creatively and innovatively, two differentiating skills that will greatly benefit our hedge fund and distressed investor clients.”
“Bodie’s experience in liability management transactions and other out-of-court restructuring matters strengthens our special situations practice,” she said. “Moreover, his significant recent experience in some of the highest-profile and most complicated deals in the market demonstrates a nuanced understanding of how capital markets practice and securities laws can affect structuring and execution.”
