Colleen Laduzinski named to 2024 Top Women in Law list by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly

Colleen Laduzinski, Partner-in-Charge of Jones Day's Boston Office, was named one of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly's 2024 "Top Women of Law." This honor celebrates the accomplishments of women lawyers who are exceptional leaders and role models.

Ms. Laduzinski is a prominent partner in the Firm's Tax Practice, known for solving complex tax and structuring issues in distressed transactions, bankruptcies, and restructurings. A recent example includes serving as lead tax lawyer advising Diebold Nixdorf on cross-border tax considerations in connection with successfully restructuring over $2.7 billion in funded debt and completing the first-ever dual proceeding under the U.S. bankruptcy code and Dutch restructuring law in 71 days. The Diebold Nixdorf restructuring received the 2024 TMA International Company Turnaround/Transaction of the Year award from the Turnaround Management Association.

A trusted advisor on the tax aspects of capital markets and financing transactions, Ms. Laduzinski is advising MassMutual on multiple fund financing transactions for private equity and private credit sponsors. She also provides tax counsel on M&A transactions, such as her recent work advising a private equity firm on the tax aspects of its acquisition of Instant Brands, designer and distributor of kitchen and home appliances, including the Instant Pot, through a chapter 11 section 363 sale.

Ms. Laduzinski and her fellow award recipients will be honored on November 12 at a reception in Boston.
