Giorgio Bovenzi

Practice Areas

Giorgio Bovenzi leads Haynes Boone’s Global Credit Risk Management practice and advises clients on commercial, banking, and insolvency law in the context of financial market transactions, providing analysis and implementation of arrangements designed to mitigate credit risk and adverse regulatory capital implications across multiple jurisdictions. He recently expanded the scope of his practice to include digital assets and their credit and regulatory implications. The value of Giorgio’s counsel derives from more than 25 years of experience in credit, banking, regulatory, derivatives, and insolvency law in multiple jurisdictions around the world. Prior to joining Haynes Boone, he practiced at Skadden, Davis Polk, and Dentons.

Global bank and fintech clients benefit from his advice in the cross-border structuring of their financial products for the global markets (e.g., prime brokerage, margin lending, derivatives, securities lending, repos, asset custody) and in the evaluation of counterparty credit risk. Giorgio has deep familiarity with credit risk mitigation techniques (e.g., collateralization and setoff/netting) and the insolvency laws of a large number of foreign jurisdictions. Clients also prize his longstanding work relationships with country counsel from more than 90 jurisdictions worldwide, which enable him to deliver coordinated results and seamless, uniform counsel across multiple jurisdictions.

Giorgio has also represented global financial institutions and multi-national debtors in complex U.S. and non-U.S. plenary and ancillary insolvency and restructuring matters, where his hands-on understanding of the enforceability of foreign collateral and intricate aspects of foreign insolvency laws plays a critical role.
