Goodwin Procter has hired Addleshaw Goddard financial restructuring partner Simon Thomas as a partner in its London office. Thomas, who had been a partner at Addleshaws since 2013, joins amid a rise in U.K. restructurings. Paul Lyons, co-chair of Goodwin’s London office, said there had been a “significant increase in distress-led restructurings” and added Thomas would be a “tremendous resource”.
