With 25 years of bankruptcy experience, Mark has been involved in all types of Chapter 11 cases, including free-falls, pre-packs, pre-negotiated, liquidations and structured dismissals. He has represented debtors, Chapter 7 and 11 trustees, official committees, secured and asset-based lenders, special servicers, indenture trustees and insurance companies.
