Complex bankruptcy litigation doesn’t usually attract much public notice, but when the case involved the fate of a beloved sports team, Andrew Leblanc learned that fans will pay attention to even the most technical of proceedings.

In the face of widespread public support for Ryan’s purchase of the team, Leblanc was prepared to be the bad guy if it meant getting his clients as much return on their investment as possible.
