Shaw Fishman Glantz & Towbin LLC announced that it will open a new office in Delaware, bringing the sophistication, efficiency and value of the nation’s premier bankruptcy boutique to a critically important state.
The new office of the Chicago-based firm will be led by bankruptcy attorney, Thomas M. Horan, who most recently practiced in the Wilmington office of AmLaw 200 firm Womble Carlyle.
“The opening of a Wilmington office is a natural progression for Shaw Fishman, as we see significant value in our offerings and approach that will successfully translate to the nation’s busiest bankruptcy venue,” said Robert Fishman, co-chair of the firm’s Bankruptcy, Reorganization, and Creditors’ Rights practice. “We’ve had our eyes on the Delaware market for a long time, and believe that having our proven experience, sophistication and value on the ground in Delaware will be an asset to the marketplace.”
Horan has a well-established practice representing debtors, official committees of unsecured creditors, and other clients in complex Chapter 11 proceedings. His bankruptcy experience also includes representing parties in preference, fraudulent transfer, and turnover litigation. Horan sits on the Board of Directors of the American Bankruptcy Institute.
“This is a once-in-a-career opportunity to be part of such an important expansion for a firm so well-known in the business bankruptcy and restructuring industry,” said Horan. “Shaw Fishman’s reputation in the bankruptcy space is unmatched, and I’m thrilled at the opportunity to collaborate with some of the industry’s brightest minds to service the needs of businesses in Delaware bankruptcy cases.”
The firm has handled Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 15 bankruptcy and reorganization cases, out-of-court restructurings, receiverships, and assignments for the benefit of creditors, involving billions of dollars in assets, and a wide variety of complex bankruptcy litigation matters.
