Buffalo, NY. Nixon Peabody LLP continues to grow its presence across New York State with the addition of Emily Dinsmore, who joins the law firm’s Global Finance practice as counsel.
Working across Nixon Peabody’s offices, Emily will principally focus on leveraged finance while also working on corporate trust matters.
“We continue to expand our firmwide team to meet growing client demand across our leveraged finance and corporate trust practice areas,” said Amy Charamba, Nixon Peabody partner and leader of the firm’s Global Finance practice. “Emily’s municipal finance background will be an asset to both our corporate trust and our leveraged finance clients.”
Having worked primarily on general obligation financings for school districts and local governments, Emily has deep experience in federal securities and tax law, critical focal points for clients across Nixon Peabody’s Global Finance practice. Prior to joining Nixon Peabody, Emily focused her practice on public finance, representing local governments, school districts, fire districts, utility districts, and underwriters as bond counsel and special counsel on a range of financial issues.
“We are thrilled to welcome Emily to Nixon Peabody and introduce her to our clients,” said Jared Lusk, managing partner of the firm’s Buffalo and Rochester offices. “Emily is a great fit for our firm’s culture and identity, having spent her career helping municipalities and businesses create positive impact in the community.”
Emily earned her JD from SUNY Buffalo Law School, summa cum laude, and her BS from Cornell University. She has been highlighted as an Upstate New York “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers magazine for the past several years. Emily currently serves on the judicial ratings committee for the Western New York chapter of the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York. Prior to practicing law, she was an elementary and high school teacher in Phoenix, AZ, through the national nonprofit organization Teach for America.
