Connection, Conversations and Trusted Counsel

Welcome. I’m Eileen Sethna, and thank you for your interest in my presentation on recharging for success at the ALM GC Midwest Conference.

In my practice, I work closely with clients to help them navigate complex financial services issues with clarity and confidence. My goal, both in my work and in this presentation, is to make challenging topics more accessible and practical, and to offer perspectives that can be applied long after the discussion ends.

I appreciated the thoughtful engagement and insightful questions shared during our time together, and I hope the conversation provided meaningful takeaways you can carry forward.

Why clients work with me

My clients typically come to me when the issues are complex, the stakes are high, and they want a clear path forward. In my practice, that often means:

Navigating complexity with clarity: I help lenders, borrowers, financial institutions, investors, and business owners work through sophisticated transactions, restructurings, workouts, and insolvency matters, without losing sight of the bigger business picture.
Strategic, business‑minded counsel: Clients value my ability to cut through legal noise and focus on practical, solution‑oriented strategies that align with their goals and realities.
Experience when it matters most: With a background spanning finance, restructuring, and complex commercial litigation, I bring seasoned judgment to both transactional matters and disputes.
A collaborative, steady approach: I’m known for being a trusted advisor and calm problem‑solver, particularly when circumstances are challenging and decisions matter.
