Since the early 1980s, we have regularly represented debtors in major restructurings and Chapter 11 proceedings.  The steady expansion of our practice in this area reflects a record of innovation and an ability to produce successful results in challenging circumstances.  For example, in recent years:

• We represented Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation, one of the very few steel companies to reorganize successfully on a stand-alone basis, in its Chapter 11 proceeding.
• We have played a central role in the restructuring of the U.S. airline industry as special counsel to American Airlines, Inc. and Delta Air Lines, Inc. in highly sophisticated out-of-court restructurings.
• We are advising Pillowtex Corporation, a leading manufacturer of sheets and towels, in a Chapter 11 reorganization that has raised complex and novel tax issues.

In addition, our experience in pre-packaged and pre-negotiated bankruptcies is the equal of any law firm in the country.  Beginning with the firm’s representation of Republic Health Corporation in the first combined exchange offer and pre-packaged bankruptcy solicitation, we have regularly played a significant role in major pre-packaged and pre-negotiated bankruptcies, including General Chemical Group, Inc., Leiner Health Products Inc., DecisionOne Corporation and Zenith Electronics Corporation.
