Our company faced a daunting and complex Chapter 11 restructuring. Engaging Michael Kessler was the single best decision we made. His deep expertise in creditor rights and insolvency law, honed over 15 years, was immediately apparent. He didn't just navigate the legal complexities; he provided a clear strategic roadmap that balanced aggressive advocacy with pragmatic solutions. His recognition as a multiple-time 'Lawyer of the Year' in this field is well-deserved. Michael and his team at Proskauer Rose were exceptionally responsive, demystifying every step.
