    Introduction

    John (Jack) Murray is an associate in our Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy group. Jack represents clients in connection with bankruptcy and insolvency matters. In addition to his insolvency related practice, Jack regularly advises corporate clients on a wide range of strategic transactions, including mergers and acquisitions.

    Practice Areas

    Financial Restructuring & BankruptcyCorporate & Finance

    My focus

    My primary focus is on advising clients on all aspects of bankruptcy, insolvency, and distressed situations. I regularly represent creditors and debtors in Chapter 11 reorganizations, Chapter 7 liquidations, out-of-court restructurings, and distressed acquisitions. My bankruptcy practice also extends to representing creditors in connection with consumer bankruptcy cases.

    In addition to my insolvency related practice, I also advise clients on complex and cross-border strategic transactions, including mergers and acquisitions.

    Prior to joining Nixon Peabody, I was an associate in the business restructuring groups at international law firms in both Boston and New York, and I completed clerkships with the Honorable Ann M. Nevins of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut and the Honorable Marie E. Lihotz of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division.

    Representative experience

    Restructuring and Insolvency

    • LRG Healthcare in its Chapter 11 case in the District of New Hampshire
    • U.S. Bank, N.A., as a member of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in connection with the Chapter 11 cases of In re Hertz, Corp.

    Mergers and Acquisitions

    • Sydney, Australia-based AMP Capital in the sale of its infrastructure debt platform with over $9 billion in AUM to Ares Management Corporation

    Jack joined Nixon Peabody in January 2021. Representative work may reflect experience from prior firms.

    • Advised an ad hoc group of secured noteholders in the Chapter 11 cases of Garrett Motion, Inc.
    • Advised a behavioral health hospital system on the wind-down and Chapter 7 filing of a subsidiary facility.
    • Advised a distressed debt investor in connection with an investment related to Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s Chapter 11 cases, involving analysis of complex legal issues relating to make-whole and subrogation claims and wildfire claims liability.
    • Advised a consortium of Philadelphia-area hospitals in their winning section 363 bid for Hahnemann University Hospital’s medical residency slot assets.
    • Represented CERO Cooperative, Inc., a Boston-based commercial composting company, in consensual out-of-court restructuring, which effectuated a debt-for-equity swap and other loan modifications, as well as new financing from institutional and private investors.
    • Represented one of the largest unsecured creditors in a high-profile consumer Chapter 7 case and related adversary proceeding objecting to the debtor’s discharge.

    Looking ahead

    The recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic has presented new challenges to the economy. While the stress of inflationary pressures and rising interest rates may not immediately manifest liquidity issues, clients should consider restructuring options, either for themselves or their counterparties, in the long term.
