International law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton has announced the appointment of David Botter as a partner in its New York office. Botter, who joins from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, brings 24 years of experience in the legal industry, during which time he has played a role in a number of large-scale restructuring cases.

Botter has described Cleary’s restructuring practice as smaller but well-positioned to handle challenging cases. He has previously crossed paths with the firm’s lawyers, having represented one group of creditors in the high-profile bankruptcy of telecommunications company Nortel Networks, which saw global fees for lawyers and advisers reach almost $1.9bn. Cleary had represented Nortel in the proceedings.

Botter has also been involved in restructuring Mexican airline Grupo Aeromexico, representing a group of noteholders. Cleary had represented Apollo Global Management in the same restructuring.
