Kellie W. Fisher

Kellie Fisher focuses her practice on bankruptcy matters, commercial litigation, and transactions involving distressed companies. Kellie routinely represents financial institutions, secured and unsecured creditors (including official and ad hoc committees), lenders, debtors, equity holders, and trustees.

Kellie has substantial bankruptcy and litigation experience in New England and around the country. With a sophisticated understanding of the restructuring legal landscape, she advises clients on all aspects of the restructuring and bankruptcy process, including DIP lending and cash collateral issues, plan negotiation and drafting, section 363 sales, adversary proceedings, contested matters, and fraudulent conveyance and preference litigation. Kellie also routinely represents parties in out-of-court debt restructurings, Article 9 and real estate foreclosures, receiverships, debtor/creditor litigation, lender liability litigation, and other general commercial litigation.

Recent examples of Kellie’s representation include secured lenders in numerous Subchapter V bankruptcy cases, the official committee of unsecured creditors in the Calais Regional Hospital bankruptcy case, and the largest creditor in a contested sale trial in the IDL Development, Inc. Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. She also successfully represented a Vermont-based textile firm as the debtor in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case and restructured millions of dollars in debt in the process.

Outside of her representation of her clients, Kellie is an active member of the legal community. She has presented numerous times at the American Bankruptcy Institute Northeast Conference, as well as the Winter Leadership Conference, the Maine Bar Association’s Summer Conference, and on other panels about bankruptcy and distressed debt issues. She is the co-chair of the board of the New England chapter of the International Women’s Insolvency & Restructuring Confederation (IWIRC) and a member of the Maine Bankruptcy Court Local Rules Committee.
