Corporate bankruptcy lawyer Michael Delaney joined Robins Kaplan‘s Restructuring and Business Bankruptcy Group in its Los Angeles office.

Delaney came to Robins Kaplan with experience in intellectual property rights disputes. He has been named to the Insolvency Law Committee of the State Bar of California, the editorial board of the California Bankruptcy Journal and was one of 40 attorneys from across the country to participate in the Next Generation Program during the annual meeting of the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges. Prior to entering private practice, Delaney served as a law clerk to the Honorable Ernest Robles of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California.

“Michael is a highly respected bankruptcy lawyer who makes an ideal complement to our restructuring practice,” said Scott Gautier, co-chair of the firm’s Restructuring and Business Bankruptcy Group. “His fluency with cutting-edge intellectual property issues, which are arising with increasing frequency in business bankruptcies, only adds to our depth of knowledge in this important area.”

“We are focused on continuing our history of successful out-of-court restructurings and Chapter 11 debtor and committee representations, primarily in the middle market,” said Howard Weg, group co-chair. “Michael’s expertise will benefit our clients as we pursue that mission and accommodate our current growth.”
