Emil Khatchatourian - Chicago Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Lawyer Reviews & Ratings

I am an experienced restructuring and bankruptcy partner in the Chicago office of Foley & Lardner LLP. I have represented debtors, trustees, secured lenders, unsecured creditors, purchasers of assets, investors, and other stakeholders in a broad range of restructuring matters throughout the country, including complex chapter 11 proceedings, out-of-court workouts, acquisitions, liquidations, and bankruptcy litigations in both federal and state court. I regularly advise, and develop strategies and creative solutions for, clients in distressed-debt situations, default scenarios, and workouts. I have led bankruptcy and restructuring matters for clients in industries as varied as manufacturing, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and retail.. I also have significant experience with respect to commodities, derivatives, and securities insolvency issues. My work in these specialized areas has involved significant counseling work for exchanges, FCMs, funds, broker dealers, and others. Through my counseling work, I have developed specific expertise with respect to the United States Bankruptcy Code’s treatment of contractual rights to liquidate, terminate, or accelerate securities contracts, commodities contracts, and forward contracts. I have also participated in the American Bar Association’s Part 190 Subcommittee’s efforts to undertake a review of the CFTC’s Part 190 commodity broker bankruptcy rules and provide recommendations to the CFTC on potential amendments to those rules.. I also volunteer my time and give back to the community. I am committed to the Edward J. Lewis II Lawyers in the Classroom program, where I teach 8th grade students important aspects of the U.S. Constitution and our legal system.
