Eckstein Named a Law360 MVP for Bankruptcy

Corporate Restructuring and Bankruptcy co-chair and partner Kenneth H. Eckstein was named to Law360 's 2014 MVP list, one of only eight named in the area of Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructuring. Law360 's MVPs of the Year series recognizes lawyers who have made the most significant contributions to their practice areas in the past year. In a profile on Mr. Eckstein, Law360 highlighted his work in leading the Kramer Levin team representing Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. in its Chapter 11 proceedings. A pre-packaged plan allowed Genco to emerge from Chapter 11 in less than 90 days, and the case developed important precedent on how to appropriately value shipping companies that are going through Chapter 11. The profile also touched on Mr. Eckstein’s thoughts on leadership and the upcoming year, which includes the continued representation of the official committee of unsecured creditors in NII Holdings Inc., and the first-lien bondholders of Caesars Entertainment Operating Co., a matter that Mr. Eckstein described as “extremely complex.”
