About Jonathan
Biography
I focus on business bankruptcy and on other ways of helping businesses in financial distress. Restructuring and workout tools include chapter 11 business bankruptcy and assignments for the benefit of creditors. I represent debtors (borrowers) as well as creditors and purchasers of distressed assets, both in and out of bankruptcy. ---
I spend much of my free time writing about bankruptcy, other restructuring topics, and other legal topics.
