We are delight­ed to announce the appoint­ment of Isabel­la Machin as an Asso­ciate in our Com­mer­cial Finance team

With a dual back­ground in account­ing and law, Isabel­la brings a depth of com­mer­cial insight and exper­tise to the firm across a wide spec­trum of prac­tice areas. Her expe­ri­ence spans com­mer­cial trans­ac­tions, restruc­tur­ing, cor­po­rate gov­er­nance and com­pli­ance, reg­u­la­to­ry advi­so­ry, and dis­pute res­o­lu­tion. Isabella’s unique com­mer­cial acu­men and client-cen­tric approach make her a strong asset to the team and an ide­al fit for this new­ly cre­at­ed role.

Our firm con­tin­ues to grow in align­ment with our strate­gic vision. Isabella’s appoint­ment enhances our abil­i­ty to respond to evolv­ing client needs while con­tin­u­ing to deliv­er the excep­tion­al val­ue and ser­vice that define the Swaab Brand of Ser­vice and our Gen­eros­i­ty of Spir­it,” said Mary Digiglio, Man­ag­ing Part­ner at Swaab.
