Jane Innes-Jones and Cameron Reeves.
Mayne Wetherell has announced the promotion of two new partners effective May 1, 2025 – Jane Innes-Jones and Cameron Reeves. The promotions recognise continued growth across the company’s transactional practices.
Finance and restructuring partner Innes-Jones brings extensive experience representing domestic and international lenders and borrowers in a variety of finance transactions. She is well regarded for her expertise in restructuring and insolvency matters.
Innes-Jones’s proven track record in complex transactions and leadership roles underscores her capability and dedication to excellence. Some of her notable recent transactions included structuring the secured super-senior and senior financing arrangements to support the management buy-out of NPD (fuel wholesale distributor) and her pivotal role advising the senior lenders to solarZero’s securitisation trusts following the liquidation of solarZero.
Innes-Jones’s unique insight into lender credit requirements stems from her tenure as in-house counsel and then in a loan execution role at a major New Zealand trading bank. There, she was responsible for arranging and structuring loans across the bank's institutional and corporate loan book, including sustainability-linked loans. Prior to joining Mayne Wetherell, she led the bank’s syndications and agency business.
Mayne Wetherell partner Will Tipping said: “We are delighted to welcome Jane to the partnership. Jane’s expertise in finance and restructuring law coupled with her front-line experience as a lender and agent make her an invaluable asset for the firm and our clients.”
Corporate/M&A partner Reeves has broad experience advising on a range of corporate and M&A transactions for domestic and international corporates, private equity, and other financial sponsors. He has particular expertise on structured equity, debt, and special situations transactions advising on preferred and other equity-linked instruments across the capital structure.
Reeves rejoined Mayne Wetherell in 2022 after four years in the Sydney offices of Gilbert + Tobin and Clifford Chance and brings a broad experience across Australasian transactions and market trends. Since his return to New Zealand, he has advised on a wide range of domestic and multi-jurisdictional transactions, with a highlight being the take-private of NZX-listed MHM Automation by a KKR portfolio company. Reeves also advises listed clients on all aspects of corporate governance and reporting with a particular focus on climate reporting processes.
As a co-lead of Mayne Wetherell’s technology and innovation team, Reeves will be a driving force in the future-focused and technology-enabled firm.
MW partner Matthew Olsen said: “Cameron brings a wealth of experience and energy to the firm and our Corporate/M&A team. We are thrilled to welcome him to the partnership and look forward to continuing to work together to deliver outstanding client service and results.”
