   My practice is concentrated in the areas of complex business litigation and bankruptcy litigation. I have first chair trial experience but I am also proficient in litigation management, risk assessment, budgeting, mediation, and arbitration. I have significant experience with all aspects of bankruptcy proceedings, including commencing and defending bankruptcy claims, negotiating workouts and settlements, handling distressed properties and assets, and counseling distressed companies. My experience includes acting as a court-appointed Special Master in an action brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). I represent clients in a variety of industries, with a primary focus on banking, securities, real estate, transportation, and insurance.I also have significant experience with complex business litigation, including general business disputes, fraud claims, breach of contract claims, lender liability, misrepresentation claims, accounting malpractice and trade secrets.
