Byron Moldo Named Leading Bankruptcy Lawyer

Our Partner Byron Z. Moldo, Chair of the Firm's Bankruptcy, Receivership and Creditors' Rights Department, has been recognized by Lawdragon’s “500 Leading Global Bankruptcy & Restructuring Lawyers” guide.  

“These are the lawyers who can make all the difference for a business, debtor or creditor and have done so time and time again,” states the publisher. “They reflect the move away from the more extreme boom and bust cycles of bankruptcy practice to a more sustained reality of leverage as a financial tool – wanted or not – throughout economic cycles in a global economy.”

Mr. Moldo’s entire legal career has been focused in bankruptcy, receivership, assignments for the benefit of creditors and all aspects of insolvency. He regularly serves as a Receiver in state and federal court cases, as assignee for the benefit of creditors, and as a fiduciary in other court-supervised matters. In addition, a substantial portion of his work consists of serving as general or special counsel to receivers, bankruptcy trustees and other fiduciaries. Mr. Moldo also represents creditors’ committees and secured creditors, and has been appointed as a Disbursing Agent, Chapter 11 Plan Confirmation Agent and to serve in other fiduciary capacities.

Mr. Moldo previously served as a Chapter 7 and 11 Bankruptcy Trustee in the Central District of California for approximately ten years. He currently serves as Global Chairperson of the Debt Collection, Restructuring & Insolvency practice group at Geneva Group International (GGI), a worldwide alliance of well-established and experienced law, accounting and consulting firms committed to providing clients with specialist solutions for their international business requirements. Mr. Moldo also serves as a mediator for the Bankruptcy Mediation Program of the Central District of California, and the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
