(London) – Akin Gump is proud to serve as the lead sponsor of this year’s virtual Norwood Distressed Investing Event on September 24, the only charity event specifically for members of the distressed community in the U.K.

Norwood remains unique in the sheer range of services it offers. From families facing challenges due to children with learning difficulties, mental health or well-being issues to anyone of any age with learning disabilities or autism, Norwood is by their side providing them with the support that changes their lives.

James Terry, financial restructuring partner at Akin Gump in London and distressed investing committee member for Norwood, commented, “This year, more than ever, Norwood needs as much support as possible. With that in mind, Akin Gump is proud to continue its longstanding support of Norwood’s ongoing commitment to helping people achieve more than they ever imagined, and to live the best lives they can. This event, while virtual out of necessity, again provides us with an excellent opportunity to understand more of what Norwood does. It is also a chance for us to hear from some of the industry’s most influential and well-known investors and to celebrate the work of Norwood and the distressed investing committee.”

Akin Gump has been a regular sponsor of Norwood’s annual Distressed Investing Dinner, the premier industry gathering each year.
