This led to major reforms in the electrical distribution system, where previously electricity was “smuggled” unreported to Kazahkstan, for the benefit of senior government officials.

    Partner
    Ervin Cohen & Jessup Llp Jan 1978 - Dec 1986
    Beverly Hills, California
    I practiced commercial bankruptcy and general corporate/securities law. I was also in charge of the firm's recruiting and summer clerkship programs. EC&J is one of the older law firms in Beverly Hills, with presently about 60 attorneys practicing general commercial law. When I left, I was the sole partner in charge of bankruptcy matters. For the first few years at the firm I specialized in corporate and securities law, including merger/acquisition and joint venture agreements, handling numerous debt and equity financings ranging from small private placements to large public offerings for several NYSE listed firms. In l984, after years of ancillary involvement in bankruptcy litigation, I became solely responsible for representation of one of four creditors’ committees in the Continental Airlines bankruptcy in Houston. This case (the largest revenue generator for the firm two years in a row) and several other bankruptcies occupied most of my time for the next three years. I represented both debtors and creditors, primarily in Chapter 11 cases.
