We have significant US and international finance capabilities, and Kurt now brings us additional capabilities in middle-market lending, a real focus for us going forward.”

We are confident he will contribute to the continued growth and diversification of our practice and will be an exceptional resource for all of our clients.”

Prior to joining Cadwalader, Kurt was a member/partner with Moore & Van Allen. His previous experience also includes advising clients on international commercial transactions in Europe.

“I know from first-hand experience the excellence that Cadwalader brings to every transaction and the firm’s leading reputation in the industry,” Oosterhouse said. “My move to Cadwalader will be very good for my clients, and I look forward to introducing my new colleagues’ expertise to my clients.”
