A consummate professional who guided us through a complex restructuring

Our company faced a critical financial restructuring involving multiple creditor classes and a significant acquisition finance component. The complexity was daunting, and we needed counsel with deep, practical experience in both bankruptcy law and the litigation that inevitably follows. David Bennett was precisely that counsel. His 19 years of focused practice in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights, coupled with his recognition in Best Lawyers for both insolvency and bankruptcy litigation, were immediately evident. He didn't just recite the law; he provided a strategic roadmap that accounted for every contingency. David's team at Holland & Knight in Dallas was seamless, but his personal oversight was constant. He possesses a rare ability to distill highly complex issues into clear, actionable advice for business leaders. The outcome was a successful reorganization that preserved our core operations and positioned us for future stability. His expertise, particularly in the nuanced area of acquisition finance within insolvency proceedings, was invaluable. We were not just another client file; David was a genuine partner through the entire arduous process. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any business navigating similar treacherous waters.
