Arthur Olick, former name partner of Anderson Kill and a prominent bankruptcy lawyer who advised parties in several law firm dissolutions, died Saturday from multiple sclerosis. He was 85.
Olick, a longtime chair of Anderson Kill’s bankruptcy and restructuring practice, worked on several large reorganizations, including Johns Manville, a manufacturer of asbestos-containing products. The firm describes Olick as an architect of the Manville Reorganization Trust, the first asbestos bankruptcy trust of its kind. He also served as trial counsel for many asbestos producers in personal injury litigation.
