“Paul is a highly-regarded adviser in the restructuring space,” Brett Miller, U.S. co-chair of the restructuring department, said. “He brings significant experience in creditor committee representations that complements the work of our industry-leading team, which has advised UCCs in several recent high-profile bankruptcy cases. We are excited to welcome him to Willkie and to bolster the capabilities of our global platform.”
Labov has more than 20 years of experience in chapter 11 bankruptcy cases and out-of-court workouts, including representing official creditors’ committees, ad hoc creditor groups, trade vendors, landlords and trustees. He also advises private equity firms in the purchase and sale of distressed debt and assets. Labov’s practice includes restructuring cases involving nationally recognized companies and brands across wide range of industries, including retail, energy, manufacturing and healthcare. He has also contributed to numerous industry publications on a wide range of bankruptcy topics. Labov joins Willkie from Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones, where he was a partner.
“I’m thrilled to join Willkie’s top-tier global restructuring team,” Labov said. “The firm’s collaborative, client-focused culture suits my practice well and I look forward to working with its talented group of practitioners to deliver impactful solutions for our clients.”
