/My focus

I focus my practice on representing companies, financial institutions, and other creditors in complex restructuring efforts, with particular expertise in both in-court and out-of-court restructurings, workouts, liquidations, distressed financings, and acquisitions. Drawing on experience across the full spectrum of corporate bankruptcy and insolvency matters, I provide strategic counsel to clients navigating the legal and commercial risks associated with financially troubled companies.

In addition, I support the Firm’s finance and corporate transactions practice, representing financial institutions, borrowers, and agents in a broad range of corporate finance and restructuring transactions. This dual focus positions me to guide clients through the lifecycle of distressed and opportunistic transactions—from front-end structuring to distressed debt and asset acquisitions—while coordinating across practice groups to deliver efficient and collaborative results.

/Looking ahead

Looking ahead, I expect an active restructuring and special situations pipeline as borrowers face approaching maturity walls, uneven liquidity, and ongoing documentation scrutiny. I anticipate continued use of liability management tools alongside more prepackaged and pre-arranged Chapter 11 cases and targeted §363 sales.
