I am a shareholder in Drummond Woodsum’s Bankruptcy, Restructuring, & Creditor’s Rights practice group and the leader of the firm’s Banking & Financial Services practice group. My practice is primarily devoted to financially distressed situations, creditors’ rights and commercial transactions, including service as outside general counsel and litigation counsel for organizations of all sizes and structures. In connection therewith, I routinely counsel national and local lending institutions, trade creditors, developers, corporations, and other interest holders in all aspects of organization, operation, and litigation (including representation in Chapter 11 reorganizations, Chapter 7 liquidations, Chapter 13 wage earner cases, forcible entry and detainer actions, commercial workouts, foreclosures, collection, financing, and conveyancing); represent parties in shareholder/stakeholder disputes associated with closely-held companies; represent parties in company and asset acquisitions and sales; and represent interest holders in the definition of property rights and litigation related thereto.
