Practicing Where Bankruptcy and Mass Tort Law Intersect
We at ASK LLP are uniquely at the intersection between bankruptcy and mass tort.
In our mass tort practice, we have represented thousands of people across the United States in the recovery of millions of dollars in compensation for their injuries.
Where mass torts and bankruptcies collide, our clients include:
- Ad hoc committee of individuals victims in the Purdue bankruptcy
- Wildfire victims on the tort-claimants committee in the PG&E bankruptcy
- Opioid victims in the Insys bankruptcy
- Sexual assault victims of Harvey Weinstein who sat on the creditors’ committee in the Weinstein Company bankruptcy
We have also represented sexual assault victims in the LBI bankruptcy as well as wrongful termination and retaliation victims in the Verity bankruptcy, among others.
Our attorneys understand that bankruptcy can be a confusing place for people who have already been victimized once, and who feel as if insult is being added to their injury. ASK LLP has extensive experience working with victims and their counsel to guide them through the bankruptcy process, and to help them recover what they are rightfully owed.
