The Daily Journal profile highlighted Susan’s work representing Vine Alternative Investments in the French safeguard proceedings of EuropaCorp S.A., an independent European film studio. Susan successfully guided her client through complicated corporate and financial restructuring issues after having worked on the initial financing transaction several years ago. “We’re there at the beginning, and we’re there to help solve all the problems along the way,” said Susan. The profile also recognized Susan’s commitment to mentoring and serving as a role model to the next generation of female lawyers. “I’ve always taken that role very seriously,” said Susan. “It’s more important than ever, as we’re coming to some very significant truths about our society and where we’ve been, and where we want to be.”
