Veteran Houston restructuring lawyer James Grogan has moved his law practice to Greenberg Traurig as a shareholder, the firm announced Thursday.
Grogan most recently practiced at Paul Hastings. He represents company and creditor clients in complex financial restructurings, bankruptcy cases, and out-of-court workouts. He is also involved as trial and appellate counsel in bankruptcy-related litigation.
His practice has touched the oil and gas, health care, FinTech, corporate finance, technology, media, and telecommunications sectors.
Recent restructurings he has been involved with include:
- Guiding Minnesota-based crypto mining firm Compute North Holdings in its Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, which included 13 separate asset sales.
- Representing the Ad Hoc Group of Secured Convertible Noteholders in Austin-based bitcoin mining company Core Scientific’s Chapter 11, which was approved in January by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
- Serving as debtors counsel to cryptocurrency services company Cred Inc. in its Chapter 11 and eventual liquidation.
“James has vast experience with bankruptcy law, which has equipped him to guide clients through complex matters arising in an everchanging market,” Shari L. Heyen, co-chair of GT’s Global Restructuring & Bankruptcy Practice and co-regional operating shareholder of Texas, said in a statement.
“His legal representation includes ground-breaking matters such as the first U.S. bankruptcy case involving a cryptocurrency business, as well as significant representation of companies such as WorldCom and Lehman Brothers.”
Grogan, who received his law degree from the University of Kansas, has also practiced at Blank Rome and restructuring powerhouse Weil, Gotshal & Manges.
