CurrentFor more than 30 years, I have represented clients in complex, high profile chapter 11 cases, out-of-court restructurings, cross border insolvencies and distressed M&A transactions. I have led successful restructurings for companies in a variety of industries, and those restructurings have ranged from out-of-court workouts and prepackaged chapter 11 plans of reorganization to sales of substantially all the assets and cram down plans of reorganization. In recent years, I have assisted clients in achieving permanent resolutions of mass asbestos tort liabilities through section 524(g) plans of reorganization. I represented RadioShack in its successful chapter 11 reorganization, including in connection with a going concern sale of a substantial portion of its business following a contentious auction and sale hearing, and Bondex and Specialty Products in their successful section 524(g) chapter 11 reorganization that fully resolved their asbestos liabilities. I am currently representing the owners of the Vogtle nuclear plant in connection with Westinghouse's chapter 11 case and a guarantee provided by Toshiba. I am also representing Hanson Permanente Cement and Kaiser Gypsum in chapter 11 cases they filed to resolve their asbestos and environmental liabilities. Other significant engagements include the successful chapter 11 reorganizations of Swift Energy, achieved in less than four months through a prepackaged plan of reorganization, and Kaiser Aluminum, which included successful restructurings of various obligations, including pension, retiree medical, environmental and asbestos liabilities.
