He represents bondholders’ and creditors’ committees, and his past clients include Gentek, Northwestern Steel & Wire, and Glenoit. Many New York firms are bulking up their insolvency practices in preparation for an economic downturn. Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft, for example, hired a four-partner bankruptcy team from Weil Gotshal & Manges in March.
