On December 2, 2022, Leech Tishman’s Business Restructuring & Insolvency Practice Group confirmed a Chapter 11 Reorganization Plan for a real estate company and 23 of its affiliated debtors, resulting in significant debt relief for the company.
The transaction involved 23 entities represented by the firm in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, in which close to $270 million was owed to creditors regarding a real estate assemblage in midtown Manhattan.
Confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization allowed the client to walk away from approximately $270M of secured debt and receive full release of his personal guarantees; in addition, all pending litigation against him and his relatives came to an end.
