WilmerHale has a New York-based bankruptcy and financial restructuring team with an established record in bankruptcy litigation at both trial and appellate levels, which is further supplemented by expertise in mass tort-driven bankruptcies. The team is especially active in the life sciences and biotechnology sectors, a particular forte of the wider firm. Beyond its specific sectoral expertise, the firm advised Diamond Sports Group on its Chapter 11 case in Houston. Philip Anker co-chairs the bankruptcy and financial restructuring group alongside Andrew Goldman with both noted for their bankruptcy litigation expertise. Benjamin Loveland and George Shuster (‘a brilliant problem-solver’) are also key partners, the latter recognised for his life sciences and biotechnology experience. All named individuals are based in New York.
