Doron P. Kenter joined Robins Kaplan’s Restructuring and Business Bankruptcy Group as counsel. Kenter joins a growing bankruptcy team in New York, following the arrival of H. Jeffrey Schwartz, partner and co-chair of the practice, in January.

“Doron’s arrival amply reflects Robins Kaplan’s continuing commitment to grow our nationally recognized New York-based restructuring and reorganization practice team and to enhance our capabilities to take on and brilliantly execute successfully on behalf of clients in leading roles both nationwide and particularly in major cases venued here in the city and in the Wilmington markets,” Schwartz said.

Kenter has significant experience representing debtors in major Chapter 11 proceedings—including Lehman Brothers, Aleris International and Deb Shops. He clerked for United States Bankruptcy Judge Robert E. Gerber of the Southern District of New York. He joins Robins Kaplan from Weil, Gotshal & Manges, where he focused on bankruptcy and out-of-court restructuring as well as debtors’ and creditors’ rights.

Kenter is an active member of the American Bankruptcy Institute and UJA-Federation of New York, where he has been selected as co-chair of the Young Lawyers Division.

Robins Kaplan’s Restructuring and Business Bankruptcy Group is a national leader in representing debtors and creditors’ committees.
