Dan is focused on advising clients in connection with corporate restructurings, bankruptcies, and other insolvency matters with a particular emphasis on insolvency-related litigation.
Based in Wilmington, he mainly practices before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, but also before state and federal courts in other jurisdictions. Dan's experience includes representing clients in a broad range of industries, including biotechnology and medical devices, retail and restaurants, manufacturing, transportation, energy, healthcare, institutional lenders, and financial services.
In bankruptcy court, Dan represents corporate debtors, official committees, debtor-in-possession financers, secured and unsecured creditors, asset purchasers, officers and directors, and other major stakeholders. Specifically, prior to joining Benesch, he recently represented a long-term equity investor in legal cannabis and hemp-related entities as lead debtor's counsel, securing court approval of a global settlement that resolved the litigation that led to the company's bankruptcy and confirming a plan of reorganization that paid creditors in full and preserved the existing equity interests in the debtor. Also before joining Benesch, Dan recently represented an FAA-certified Part 135 charter air carrier, obtaining confirmation of a plan of reorganization that restructured millions of dollars' worth of debt and preserved the debtor's operating certificate.
In addition to his restructuring practice, Dan is an experienced litigator who has practiced in state and federal courts in a variety of jurisdictions in cases involving issues of corporate law and distressed commercial situations.
