Justin Winerman, a partner in BCLP's Finance Transactions practice, recently spoke with Law360 for their midyear bankruptcy report.

In the article, Justin shares insights on notable bankruptcy developments during the first half of 2026, including the emphasis on getting pre-negotiated deals to cut down on the costs of chapter 11 and the increased use of chapter 15 to implement cross-border restructurings. He noted that Chapter 15 is "especially flexible." 

Justin has distinguished himself in cross-border matters, serving as lead counsel in a number of chapter 15 cases, obtaining recognition and enforcement of proceedings in multiple jurisdictions around the globe. He represents clients around the world in all aspects of complex corporate restructurings both in and out of court and across a wide range of industries, including health care, financial services, energy and media.
