Bankruptcy-related work is a key pillar of Proskauer Rose LLP’s appellate practice. In particular, its ongoing representation of the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico in relation to the restructuring of Puerto Rico’s public debt–the largest municipal restructuring in US history–continues to provide a significant volume of appeals. Other team sweet spots include sports, IP, antitrust, and ERISA. Mark Harris and John Roberts co-chair the department from New York and Boston respectively; they also co-lead the appellate work for the Puerto Rico restructuring. New York-based ERISA specialist Myron Rumeld
is also noted for his adept handling of ERISA-related appeals.
