Career

Co-Head of Global Finance & Restructuring Group and one of the leading business restructuring lawyers in the United States. Andy started S&C’s multi-disciplinary restructuring practice in 2008 and has overseen its growth and expansion in response to client demand for higher quality legal services for corporate debtors. The practice is unique among its competitors with respect to its complete integration with the rest of S&C and the use of creative solutions from outside the conventional restructuring toolbox. Andy has been the lead debtor counsel for some of the most significant chapter 11 cases ever filed, including Eastman Kodak and, recently, FTX (digital assets), Kidde-Fenwal (the first “forever chemicals” bankruptcy), SVB Bank (diversified financial institution), Garrett Motion (auto), California Resources Corporation (oil & gas) and LSC Communications (printing). He also helps S&C clients purchase distressed companies (such as Chrysler and General Growth Properties) and execute out-of-court restructurings and rescue sales of every type, including in cases where bankruptcy filings were thought inevitable by other restructuring experts but ultimately avoided.
