Kenneth H. Eckstein is co-chair of Kramer Levin's Bankruptcy and Restructuring department. Ken has played a prominent role in many of the headline-making Chapter 11 reorganizations of the past 35 years, including, most recently, three large, complex restructurings of the pharmaceutical companies at the heart of the opioid crisis, as well as the bankruptcies of household names in the consumer products, automotive, media and entertainment, financial services, telecommunications, energy, and airline industries. He represents creditors’ committees, bondholders and other stakeholders in both in- and out-of-court restructurings as well as trustees, examiners and third parties seeking to acquire the assets or businesses of financially troubled companies. Ken also counsels and represents debtors and boards of directors in the complex legal, financial and operational issues arising in reorganizations, including obtaining debtor-in-possession financing; negotiating forbearance agreements; negotiating plans of reorganization with secured lenders, creditors’ committees and other stakeholders; and conducting sales of businesses.
