James T. Grogan joined Blank Rome as a partner in the Finance, Restructuring and Bankruptcy group in the firm’s Houston office.
Grogan focuses his practice on Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, representing a client base of debtors, lenders and committees of unsecured creditors across a wide range of industries. He joins Blank Rome from Paul Hastings, where he was a member of the Corporate Department and the Finance and Restructuring practice.
“James is an accomplished attorney with tremendous experience in counseling his clients on their most complex finance and restructuring matters,” said Alan J. Hoffman, Blank Rome’s chairman and managing partner. “From his experience representing some of the largest Chapter 11 debtors in history, to his broad client mix, James fits in seamlessly with our practice and we are thrilled to welcome him to Blank Rome.”
Most recently, Grogan has had a particular focus on restructuring transactions in the energy sector, but over his almost 20-year career he has counseled companies in the automotive, telecom, manufacturing, entertainment, financial services and retail industries. Grogan, who is licensed in both Texas and New York, has extensive experience with complex cross-border restructurings, having advised on some of the most important, market-leading engagements in recent years.
Grogan is a member of the Houston Chapter of the Turnaround Management Association.
