Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright’s finance and restructuring partner, Omar Salah, has been included in this year’s Global Restructuring Review ‘40 under 40 2022’ list.

The annual list is GRR’s selection of global restructuring specialists and leading individuals in the sector under the age of 40, aiming to identify the ‘next generation of rising stars within the cross-border restructuring community’. According to GRR, they are 40 of the world’s leading restructuring specialists.

Omar, who is Amsterdam head of financial restructuring and insolvency, was nominated and successfully selected for his work on a number of high-profile financial restructuring and insolvency matters. The nominations came from the wider industry and GRR decided the final list of winners following months of research and independent verification.

Omar is also Professor of Global Finance and Restructuring Law at Tilburg University, taking a preeminent position in the field of cross-border restructuring and insolvency both in academia and practice.

Howard Seife, global head of restructuring and insolvency at Norton Rose Fulbright, said:

“Omar’s inclusion in the Global Restructuring Review ’40 under 40’ 2022 is very well deserved. Omar has been an invaluable member of our team since he joined us last year, having made vital contributions to a number of successful financial restructuring and insolvency matters. I would like to congratulate Omar on his inclusion and look forward to continuing to work with him to support our clients.”
