   May 2024 — Present · NY, US

   As a Bankruptcy Attorney, I represented creditors in complex bankruptcy proceedings, including Chapter 11, Chapter 7, and Chapter 13 cases, ensuring that the interests of unsecured, secured, and trade creditors were effectively protected. My responsibilities involved providing strategic legal counsel to clients, analyzing and resolving bankruptcy issues such as claims analysis, preference actions, and debt treatment, and navigating the intricacies of debt recovery. In addition to handling bankruptcy-related matters, I also supported clients with tax implications arising from bankruptcy filings, addressing issues like dischargeability of tax debt, tax lien prioritization, and the tax consequences of bankruptcy-related asset transfers. I was responsible for drafting motions, objections, and other legal documents, as well as participating in hearings and negotiations on behalf of clients. My work also included conducting detailed legal research to support case strategies and collaborating with clients, legal teams, and external professionals to deliver comprehensive solutions. This experience allowed me to gain significant expertise in both creditor-side bankruptcy law and the intersection of tax law with bankruptcy proceedings.
