Cadwalader is thrilled to share that Fund Finance Senior Associate, Olivia Stewart, was recently recognized by the Fund Finance Association (“FFA”) as a “Rising Star” for 2025.

This group of “emerging professionals whose achievements, innovation, and leadership” are helping to “define what’s next for the fund finance community,” according to the FFA. These attorneys bring the vitality, creativity and fresh perspectives needed to move the legal industry forward in the years to come.

“My success is owed to my mentors who invested in my career by giving me tons of opportunities to develop both technically and socially as a young associate,” added Olivia, “Like my mentors, I try to create a space for young associates to be involved in the ‘weeds’ of a transaction and to always be available to provide feedback.”

Olivia represents banks and financial institutions as lenders and lead agents in structuring, negotiating and documenting subscription, NAV and hybrid credit facilities for private equity funds.
