The last two years may not have brought with it the boom in bankruptcy work as expected in the initial onset of pandemic-induced economic turndown. But Natalie Ramsey, co-chair of Robinson & Cole’s bankruptcy and reorganization practice, said bankruptcy continues to provide a useful forum for companies to find a way out of insolvency.

As far as her group goes, Ramsey said Robinson & Cole has developed a niche in mass tort-related bankruptcy work. Currently, the firm is representing creditors committees comprised of asbestos claimants in three cases in the Western District of North Carolina, each stemming from divisive mergers.
