Paul Nussbaum, Chair of the firm’s Bankruptcy Group, said, “Marc and I were young lawyers together in New York in the early days of the modern bankruptcy practice. Since then, businesses of every size and description have relied on bankruptcy restructurings, and Whiteford has evolved into a leading bankruptcy practice.
