Lugenbuhl, Wheaton, Peck, Rankin & Hubbard is pleased to announce a significant expansion of its nationally respected bankruptcy and restructuring practice with the addition of Douglas S. Draper, Founding Member of Heller Draper & Horn, along with attorneys Greta M. Brouphy and Michael E. Landis.

This strategic move follows a series of thoughtful discussions recognizing the substantial alignment in practice strengths, culture, and long-term vision between the two firms. What began as exploratory conversations evolved into a clear, shared objective: to unite capabilities and create a more comprehensive, powerful platform for client service.

“The integration of these exceptional attorneys enhances our ability to serve clients with even greater depth, additional disciplines, greater bandwidth, agility, and experience,” said Benjamin W. Kadden, Managing Shareholder and Director of Bankruptcy. “Our combined team strengthens the firm’s longstanding commitment to delivering highly effective, efficient legal solutions in complex restructuring matters and bankruptcy matters.”

By joining forces, the unified practice now offers clients access to an expanded bench of tenured professionals and a more robust suite of specialized services. Clients can expect uninterrupted service from familiar advisors, supported by the enhanced resources and collaborative strength of the integrated team.

“We look forward to continuing our valued relationships under this strengthened structure,” the firm said in a statement. “Should clients have any questions about this development or the benefits it brings to their matters, we stand ready to provide more information.”
