He specialized in complex bankruptcy litigation and reorganization, including the world-wide financial institution Committee in the Drexel Burnham Lambert Group, Inc.  chapter 11 case and the New York Daily News in its chapter 11 case, preserving  at the time one of New York’s treasured institutions.
