These matters are primarily on behalf of lenders, where Anna plays a key role in structuring and negotiating agreements that safeguard client interests.

This work often involves navigating intricate contractual arrangements and advising on risk mitigation strategies for financial institutions.

Anna primarily assists Partner James Montado in a diverse civil and commercial litigation practice.
