Our manufacturing company faced significant financial distress, and we needed counsel to navigate a potential Chapter 11 reorganization. We selected Leah A. O’Farrell at Barnes & Thornburg based on her Best Lawyers recognition in Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law. Leah’s deep expertise was immediately apparent. She conducted a thorough analysis of our Boston-based operations and creditor landscape, then crafted a strategic reorganization plan that balanced legal necessities with practical business continuity. Her advice was never just theoretical; she clearly understood the operational pressures we were under. The plan she helped us develop and present was approved, preserving the company and dozens of jobs. Throughout the months-long process, Leah was a steady and knowledgeable advocate. If there was one area for improvement, it would be that during peak filing periods, response times from her direct line could occasionally stretch to a full business day, though her team was always responsive. Overall, her skill in this highly specialized area is exceptional, and I would confidently recommend her for any complex insolvency matter.
