Sussman Shank LLP is excited to welcome the lawyers and paralegals from the bankruptcy boutique Vanden Bos & Chapman, who joined our firm, effective January 1, 2024. This strategic collaboration and expansion mark a major milestone in Sussman Shank’s ongoing commitment to delivering high quality legal services within the specialized area of Business Restructuring and Bankruptcy law.
The newly-welcomed team brings a wealth of experience, depth, and a proven track record for handling a diverse range of cases, from consumer and small business bankruptcies (Chapter 7 and 13), bankruptcies for family farmers and fisherman (Chapter 12), as well as complex business restructuring matters (Chapter 11). They also specialize in creditor representation across all chapters.
Additionally, the joining lawyers possess the skills, insights, and reputation that will complement Sussman Shank’s long-established Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights practice. Together, we will continue to offer a dynamic, effective, and comprehensive approach to addressing the diverse needs of our clients who are navigating complex legal and business challenges.
“We are thrilled to welcome the respected Vanden Bos & Chapman team to our firm” says Tom Stilley, Sussman Shank’s managing partner. “I have known and worked with all of the lawyers at Vanden Bos & Chapman for many years and have always admired and respected their knowledge, expertise, and professionalism.
