Asbestos and Other Mass Tort Reorganizations

Our lawyers have been representing key parties in asbestos-related matters since the resolution of mass tort issues first moved into the bankruptcy courts. And, we remain one of the field's most active firms. We represent debtors, principal creditors and legal representatives for future claimants in a number of major cases, including Federal-Mogul Corporation, Combustion Engineering, Inc., Congoleum Corporation W. R. Grace & Co., Shook & Fletcher Insulation Co. and Western MacArthur Company. We also represent asbestos claims settlement trusts established under confirmed plans.

One of the unique ways we have achieved success for our clients is by establishing alliances with representatives of tort claimants and pursuing insurance coverage. We focus on employing the bankruptcy process to resolve the complex mass tort and financial issues facing our clients.
