I represent clients during troubled times, often after others have made insufficient progress. Helping salvage their business and investment goals, clients have described me as “very confident, personable, connected and cost-effective. The complete package.” Chambers and PartnersBringing three decades of experience in the litigation, trial, and insolvency trenches, clients retain me because I drive client solutions in and out of courts across a broad spectrum of financial services, energy, healthcare, and technology disputes. My role often transcends discrete practice area pigeonholes—into a multi-disciplinary arena called Special Situations. In sum, clients hire me to resolve business problems through negotiation or trial.The work routinely involves complex litigation, mediation, arbitration, trial, bankruptcy, receivership, collateral and security enforcement, equity exchanges, refinancings, distressed financings, capital raises, and distressed M&A transactions. Invariably, the work touches on corporate governance considerations—with goals to either reduce or capitalize on fiduciary liability and to navigate stakeholder negotiations. Clients often consider me their quarterback with a knack for engaging strategically and resolving discrete issues as necessary. “His main strength is battlefield vision. Whereas many lawyers may focus on one skirmish or the other, he can step back, take in the entire conflict, and figure out a way to move it forward.” Chambers and Partners
