Peter J. Gurfein

I am a litigator who litigates exclusively in federal bankruptcy court and a business lawyer whose transactions exclusively involve insolvent entities and the people who deal with insolvent entities. 

My cases involve financial and corporate restructuring, bankruptcy and workouts, acquisition and sale of distressed assets, corporate governance and officer and director liability, and individual chapter 11 cases of high net worth individuals. 

I am a former prosecutor with extensive experience in bankruptcy crime and fraud investigations and the prosecution and defense of  officers and directors of insolvent companies. 

I represent debtors, trustees, committees, sellers and buyers of distressed assets, and creditors.

I am also a mediator on the panel of mediators appointed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California.
