Exceptional Bankruptcy Litigator for Complex Business Reorganization

Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-party Chapter 11 proceeding involving a key supplier. The complexity was daunting, and we needed counsel who could navigate both the restructuring and the intense adversarial litigation that ensued. Mr. Sherman and his team at Sills Cummis were recommended for their deep expertise in Newark's bankruptcy court, and they lived up to their reputation. His background, including his recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year, was immediately evident in his strategic command of the case. He adeptly handled the business reorganization aspects while simultaneously mounting a formidable defense against creditor committees, ultimately securing a favorable plan of reorganization that preserved our operational continuity. His advice was always precise, cutting through the noise to focus on achievable outcomes. The one area where we occasionally felt a slight delay was in receiving non-urgent email replies, as his caseload is clearly substantial. However, when it mattered, he was always available. For any serious creditor-side bankruptcy or complex business reorganization in New Jersey, Andrew Sherman is an outstanding choice.
