EXPERIENCE :

  • Represented Unilife Corporation and its affiliates as lead bankruptcy counsel in Chapter 11 proceedings in the District of Delaware. The case involved the sale of the debtors’ assets through a Court-sanctioned section 363 auction sale process to four separate buyers; the wind-down of the debtors’ Australian affiliates; the negotiation and settlement of derivative claims, which created a fund for distribution to creditors; and the negotiation and confirmation of a consensual plan of liquidation with the creditors’ committee.
  • Represented Aluminum Shapes, LLC and various affiliates in their Chapter 11 proceedings in the District of New Jersey. The cases were filed with a pre-negotiated plan with the debtors’ plan sponsor and secured creditors. The cases were hard fought with the creditors’ committee and resulted in a confirmed plan within six months of the petition date – with the committee’s consent. The plan sponsor was replaced mid-way through the case by a party that offered financing on better terms and a larger recovery for unsecured creditors.
  • Represented the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the 1031 Tax Group cases that were commenced in the Southern District of New York, which involved widespread fraud perpetrated by the debtors’ principals. The committee worked with the Chapter 11 trustee to confirm a consensual plan of reorganization that in the end will result in a recovery to unsecured creditors in excess of 70 cents on the dollar.
  • Represented Chapter 7 trustees, committees, and debtors in the investigation and pursuit of litigation against the debtor’s former directors and officers for breach of fiduciary duty and related claims in the following cases: Affirmative Holdings, Hashfast, Scoreboard, Starter Corporation, Glass Group, TVC/OPUS, Archway Cookies, Capitol Infrastructure, Advanced Interactive Systems, and 38 Studios.
