Experience

  • In re G-I Holdings, Inc., Case No. 01-10315 (D.N.J. Bankr.), (This matter is a multi-billion dollar asbestos bankruptcy that was actively litigated for approximately seven years in front of the Bankruptcy Court and multiple district courts. KMK represented a retired New Jersey state court judge that was appointed to the position of Legal Representative to represent the interests of those persons that had been exposed to asbestos but had yet to develop a sickness. KMK litigated on behalf of the Legal Representative in extensive proceedings with the debtor (a substantial manufacturer), and the statutory committee representing the class of asbestos victims, until a settlement in the approximate amount of $750 million was reached.)
  • KMK successfully represented a secured lender holding a secured claim exceeding $30 Million in the chapter 11 bankruptcy case of Zayat Stables, one of the largest thoroughbred racing stables in the United States.
  • KMK represents a secured lender in the chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings of Petro Ventures, a regional chain of convenience stores with a complex capital and organizational structure, involving multiple secured lenders holding over $55 million in debt secured by competing liens, pending in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
