ArentFox Schiff

ArentFox Schiff is best known for bankruptcy litigation and for its roles in acting for creditors’ committees. It is particularly noted for representing indenture and corporate trustees, including those in high-value chapter 11 cases. The firm’s rounded expertise extends to the restructure, purchase, or sale of distressed assets, and out-of-court workouts. Middle market restructurings and bankruptcies are its forte. Andrew Silfen is hugely experienced, particularly in representing indenture trustees, and has played an influential role in building the financial restructuring and bankruptcy practice over many years. Los Angeles partner Aram Ordubegian became chair of the team in July 2024 and has a primary focus on matters involving California-based middle market businesses. Beth Brownstein is another key partner. Named individuals are based in New York unless stated otherwise.
