The boutique firm taps a pair of veteran restructuring bankers as part of the growth.
May 21, 2009
Perella Weinberg Partners, a boutique investment bank advisory and asset management firm, is expanding its restructuring group with the additions of Richard Shinder and Agnes Tang.
Shinder joins from Goldman Sachs, while Tang most recently was part of Houlihan Lokey’s financial restructuring group. Shinder and Tang join as managing director and director, respectively.
“Restructuring is an increasingly critical area of expertise in the current economic environment, and we are pleased to continue to attract top-tier professionals with deep restructuring experience to advise our clients in distressed situations,” Joseph Perella, chairman and chief executive of Perella Weinberg Partners, said in a press release.
Shinder is a 15-year restructuring banker veteran with experience tied to restructuring and distressed debt investing, and has participated in complex restructuring advisory assignments for clients across the spectrum, including debtors, creditors and financial sponsors. Previously, Shinder served as a senior member and founder of the distressed principal investing in the Americas specials situations group at Goldman. Before that, he spent a decade as a restructuring advisor in Blackstone Group’s restructuring and reorganization advisory group.
Tang spent the past seven years as a senior member of Houlihan Lokey's financial restructuring group. She has more than a decade of investment banking and consulting experience, and like Shinder has advised clients on all sides of a restructuring situation.
Perella Weinberg's restructuring group began when the firm acquired the business from Kramer Capital Partners in 2007.
