He has assisted legal counsel, receiverships, Chapter 11 trustees, lending institutions, company management, creditor committees, and other stakeholders on a variety of financial, strategic and operational issues.

The CTP designation provides an objective measure and recognition of expertise related to workouts, restructurings and corporate renewal.
