Polsinelli is pleased to announce that Brett D. Goodman has joined the firm as a shareholder in the Bankruptcy & Restructuring Practice in New York. Goodman’s arrival builds on the momentum of a team of eight real estate attorneys who joined the New York office this summer and reflects the firm’s continued expansion in the region. With nearly 20 years of experience, Goodman focuses his practice on bankruptcy, corporate restructuring and creditors’ rights, particularly in the health care and real estate sectors. Goodman joins the firm from Arent Fox in New York.
“Brett is a highly respected bankruptcy and restructuring attorney with deep experience across industries at the core of today’s distressed landscape,” said Christopher A. Ward, Co-Chair of Polsinelli’s Bankruptcy & Restructuring Practice. “His arrival reinforces our bench strength and enhances our ability to deliver business-focused solutions in challenging markets.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Brett to our team in New York,” said Bill Di Bianca, New York Office Managing Partner. “His arrival not only strengthens our bankruptcy team but also demonstrates the momentum of our office as we continue to attract top talent across each of the firm’s practice groups.”
Goodman represents debtors, committees of creditors and equity holders, trustees, agents, secured and unsecured creditors, lenders, asset purchasers and landlords in high-stakes bankruptcy cases and out-of-court restructurings nationwide. He also regularly defends and prosecutes avoidance actions and represents lenders in complex commercial workouts and foreclosures.
Goodman’s practice spreads across the capital structure and he advises clients on anticipated risks and opportunities in the rapidly evolving restructuring environment. He has represented clients in distressed situations in major chapter 11 cases and workouts across various sectors, including retail, health care, media, real estate, aerospace and energy.
”Polsinelli presents the unique opportunity for me to team with a nationally recognized bankruptcy and restructuring practice and unite my clients with a firm that can deliver deep expertise across their industries and solutions for their entire business,” said Goodman.
In addition to his legal practice, Goodman also frequently speaks and writes on bankruptcy and restructuring issues for industry publications and organizations. Goodman earned his J.D. from New York Law School and his B.G.S. from the University of Michigan.
