Practice Areas: Corporate Bankruptcy and Restructuring

 

Adam G. Landis’ diverse corporate bankruptcy and restructuring practice includes first-chair and co-counsel representation of debtors, official and unofficial committees, secured lenders and other secured creditors, indenture trustees and bondholders, unsecured creditors, asset purchasers, officers and directors, liquidating trusts and plan administrators in a variety of national bankruptcy cases, primarily in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

 

Upon graduation from law school, Adam practiced in New York as an associate with the law firm of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP. He was a partner in the Delaware office of Duane Morris & Heckscher LLP (now Duane Morris LLP) before joining Klett Rooney Lieber & Schorling PC (now Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC) as a shareholder in March 2000. Adam left Klett Rooney in July 2003 to found Landis Rath & Cobb LLP with Dan Rath and Rick Cobb.

 

Recognized as a leader in Delaware bankruptcy/restructuring practice by Chambers USA in 2005, 2006 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and honored as a Delaware Super Lawyer in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, Adam lectures and writes frequently on chapter 11 bankruptcy topics. Adam is a past Secretary, past Vice Chair, and presently serves as Chair of the Bankruptcy Section of the Delaware State Bar Association.

 

Chambers USA 2010 Client's Guide noted that clients and peers agree that Mr. Landis has a stellar reputation. "He gets involved in every aspect of the case and his judgment is superb." Chambers previously said that he is someone who "goes beyond the typical role of local counsel and shares an almost equal voice with lead counsel on all legal issues and strategy ... a bright, articulate and reasonable attorney who is good at helping people to achieve a resolution — a 'cards on the table' kind of guy."
