“In her six years with Accuracy, Charlene has demonstrated expertise in advising on complex transaction matters. We are proud to have her join the our partnership,” said Frédéric Duponchel, the CEO of Accuracy.

Florence Westermann joined Accuracy in 2006 to contribute to the development of the restructuring practice, after acquiring initial experience at a receiver and Big Four firm PwC for three years. Based in Accuracy’s Paris office, she has extensive knowledge of the French restructuring environment as well as financial expertise to support companies in distressed situations.
