Lawyer Rankings

United States > Finance > Restructuring (including bankruptcy): municipal

Ballard Spahr LLP’s bankruptcy and restructuring practice group is well known for its municipal bankruptcy expertise, particularly in connection with chapter 9 cases involving pension obligations debt. The practice has a strong reputation for advising indenture trustees but also represents fiscally challenged municipalities, underwriters, bond insurers, and institutional investors. William Rhodes in Philadelphia, and Tobey Daluz and Matthew Summers in Wilmington, jointly head the multidisciplinary practice group. Public finance specialist Rhodes leads on municipal recovery and represents issuers, broker-dealers, and investors in all areas of public finance, with a focus on state oversight of distressed municipalities, while litigators Daluz and Summers also have broad bankruptcy experience. In a standout matter, Rhodes and Kevin Cunningham, also in Philadelphia, represented an indenture trustee in connection with the covenant defaults and financial distress of the owners and operators of multi-family housing units, involving asset sales, bondholders’ presentations, and the negotiation of forbearance agreements. William Wassweiler in Minneapolis plays an important role in the team, and regularly advises financial institutions serving as corporate trustees in circumstances involving municipal bonds.
