George L. Santiago represents hedge funds, investment managers, private equity sponsors, lender groups, directors and officers, and shareholders in complex commercial disputes in federal and state courts and before arbitral tribunals nationwide.

He reliably guides clients through complex, fast-moving disputes with a clear-eyed, strategic approach by identifying risk early, crafting tailored solutions, and positioning matters for optimal resolution. Trusted by leading investment funds and executives from pre suit investigation through trial and settlement, George has litigated and secured favorable outcomes in matters involving distressed debt and fund disputes, liability management transactions, corporate governance, shareholder rights, and fiduciary duty claims.

His experience also includes bankruptcy and post-bankruptcy fraud litigation involving contested plan confirmations, DIP financing disputes, and creditor-preserved claims under Chapter 11 plans alleging prepetition misstatements in the marketing of corporate debt and securities.

George also represents clients in accounting malpractice and auditor liability matters, including claims against global accounting firms stemming from audit failures, flawed quality-of-earnings analyses, and misstated financial performance in connection with portfolio company financings and private equity acquisitions.
