For more than 40 years, he has represented corporations and businesses, and high net worth individuals, in federal and state trial and appellate courts.   He has also represented business debtors, creditors, and creditor committees in court supervised bankruptcies and out-of-court restructuring proceedings. In connection with his practice he assists companies and individuals to resolve civil disputes which are complex and often go to the core of their businesses.  Matters he has recently been involved with include private equity lenders, land use disputes, commercial mortgage foreclosures, international condemnation proceedings, and intra-family contests involving a nine-figure fine arts collection.    Notably, he also served as the co-counsel representing Oakland County in the City of Detroit Chapter 9 bankruptcy proceedings, which is the largest municipality case ever filed. He has also assisted debtors (companies and individuals) in preserving and protecting their assets in times of economic downturn.  He was particularly valuable to real estate developers, commercial businesses and manufacturers during the Great Recession in both litigation and negotiation to assist them in maximizing their holdings and avoiding bankruptcy.
