Selendy Gay has expanded its bankruptcy capabilities with the addition of Claudia Tobler as Special Counsel.
“Claudia is a highly esteemed member of the restructuring community who has deep experience in representing all constituents in a bankruptcy or restructuring,” said Kelley Cornish, Selendy Gay’s managing partner and a leading bankruptcy attorney who joined the firm last year. “Claudia will play an important role in further developing our bankruptcy-related litigation practice and providing advice to our clients in bankruptcy and bankruptcy-adjacent matters.”
With 25 years of experience as a restructuring attorney, Tobler has led all aspects of bankruptcy, restructuring, and bankruptcy-adjacent mandates, including debtor, creditor, ad hoc committee, litigation, international, cross-border, and transactional representations. She has handled some of the largest in and out-of-court restructurings in the U.S. and Canada.
Tobler joins Selendy Gay from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP, where she represented a wide range of Fortune 500 companies, private equity firms, and multinational corporations. Her notable matters include Mallinckrodt, Endo Pharmaceuticals, Bumble Bee Foods, Seadrill, LSC Communications, Cumulus Media, Enron, and WorldCom.
“Guiding clients through complex bankruptcy-related disputes has always been a focus of our firm,” said founding partner Jennifer Selendy, who is a leading bankruptcy litigator, including with respect to liability management transactions that arise during restructurings. “The addition of Claudia’s knowledge and experience expands the breadth and depth of services we provide to our clients confronted with the challenges of the restructuring space.”
Selendy Gay’s Bankruptcy and Insolvency team is a leader in high-stakes restructuring and insolvency disputes, bankruptcy-related investigations, and sophisticated litigation involving complex claims of breaches of fiduciary duty, fraudulent transfers, intercompany and insider preferences, equitable subordination, alter ego, and veil piercing. Most recently, the team filed two lawsuits on behalf of The Genesis Litigation Oversight Committee for creditors owed crypto assets worth approximately $2.2 billion following Genesis’s Chapter 11 filing.
