Etihad-linked EA Partners’ creditors said to hire Dechert ahead of debt plan

Etihad-linked EA Partners’ creditors said to hire Dechert ahead of debt plan:

A group of creditors to EA Partners, a special purpose vehicle linked to Etihad Airways, hired law firm Dechert LLP ahead of a possible debt restructuring, according to people familiar with the matter.

The hiring follows unsuccessful auctions of defaulted claims on two insolvent affiliates of the Abu Dhabi-based airline, Air Berlin and Alitalia, said the people, asking not to be identified because it’s private.

A spokesman for Dechert confirmed a group of investors had appointed the firm but declined to comment further. A spokesman for Etihad declined to comment on the hiring. Officials at EA Partners didn’t return calls and emails seeking comment.
