David is the co-head of Vinson & Elkins’ Restructuring and Reorganization group. His practice involves representing debtors, creditors, equity holders, and investors in all aspects of complex corporate restructurings including chapter 11 cases, out-of-court restructurings, and special situation investments and acquisitions. David also advises boards of directors and senior management of financially troubled companies regarding fiduciary duties, restructuring strategies and considerations, operating in chapter 11, and negotiating and structuring financings and other complex commercial transactions.
He was recently selected as one of six lawyers appointed nationally to join the reconstituted Complex Case Committee in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas – a popular forum for filing large and complex chapter 11 cases – to assist the Court in evaluating protocol for the in-court restructuring processes and other key elements of bankruptcy practice.
