    /My focus

    I represent clients in a wide range of industries across all phases of complex restructuring matters, from pre-petition planning through confirmation and post-effective date matters. My work includes advising clients in contested matters and other bankruptcy-related litigation.

    /Looking ahead

    Leveraging the tools of artificial intelligence will reshape the restructuring practice, augmenting professional judgment and allowing greater focus on formulating and implementing tailored, value-maximizing, restructuring strategies at lower cost.
