About James Bentley
I represent private credit and private equity funds, secured and unsecured creditors, debtors, alternative asset managers, and other stakeholders in every aspect of the restructuring process. My experience with restructurings spans many industries including retail, automotive, energy, healthcare, restaurants, radio and television, real estate, and securities. I negotiate and litigate a range of complex issues including contested bankruptcy sales, plan confirmation, debtor in possession financing, cash collateral, fraudulent transfers, equitable subordination and recharacterization, and I also advise clients about distressed investment strategies. I also work on a number of Article 9 foreclosures on unique collateral.Additionally, I counsel international and domestic clients on insolvency-related issues associated with securitizations as well as public and private structured financings, including collateralized loan obligations. I also work with litigation funders on investments in distressed plaintiff-side litigation.This profile may constitute attorney advertising.
