Eversheds Sutherland grows Corporate Financial Services practice with partner hire Chrissy Findlay
Eversheds Sutherland has expanded its Corporate Financial Services and M&A practice with the appointment of Chrissy Findlay as a partner in its London office, further reinforcing the firm’s focus on supporting banks, financial institutions and lending and payments businesses on complex corporate, transactional and governance mandates.
Chrissy joins from Pinsent Masons, where she spent almost two decades in the firm’s corporate practice and has been a partner since 2019. She advises clients across the financial services sector on a broad range of corporate matters, including M&A, restructurings, corporate governance and strategic reorganisations, with notable experience in banking, lending and payments in particular.
Her client work includes advising established clearing banks, specialist and neo-banks and payments and lending providers, as well as financial services bodies and professional services organisations on UK and cross-border corporate matters. Chrissy also regularly supports clients on governance and directors’ duties, drawing on her wider involvement in professional bodies and sector initiatives.
Alongside her client practice, Chrissy has played a prominent role in practice and talent development. She has held leadership roles within her previous firm’s corporate group, led firmwide training initiatives across transaction services teams, and is actively involved in mentoring and supporting lawyers at different stages of their careers. She is a member of the main board of the City of London Law Society.
Antony Walsh, partner and international head of Corporate at Eversheds Sutherland, said: “Chrissy is a strong addition to our Corporate Finance team. She brings deep sector understanding, long-standing client relationships and a proven ability to help grow and lead teams. Her arrival supports our continued focus on banks, financial institutions and lending and payments businesses, and complements the work we are doing across the wider corporate and financial services practices internationally.”
