Bruce Goldstein’s knowledge of complex legal issues helps companies stay in business—and helps individuals move on with their lives—when they are facing bankruptcy. In his practice, he works to build relationships and trust with clients by educating them on many of the complicated issues surrounding debtor and creditor rights.
In a career that spans more than 30 years, Mr. Goldstein has represented debtors and creditors alike, building up an especially strong local knowledge of the legal nuances of the mid-Atlantic region. He has represented a range of industries in large bankruptcy and insolvency-related proceedings, and has also represented secured creditors, creditors’ committees, landlords, and other parties.
He has served as a trustee in both the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the Eastern District of Virginia, and has represented trustees in Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 proceedings.
Mr. Goldstein has served on various bar committees, many of which relate to bankruptcy, reorganizations, and secured transactions. He has also been selected by his peers as a top lawyer in The Best Lawyers in America for Bankruptcy and Creditor-Debtor Rights Law for more than 20 years.
Experience
-
Represented a medical device company that had been unable to obtain an adequate reimbursement rate for its prescription device used mainly by Medicare patients. Approximately $60 million in equity was raised by the Board of Directors, which consisted of prominent medical doctors, businessmen, and venture capital firms.
-
Developed a strategy for a homebuilder client to liquidate during 2007 a substantial portion of its inventory of land, triggering net operating losses which could be carried back to 2005. This plan resulted in tax refunds sufficient to pay the deficiencies owed on the loans secured by the properties which were sold.
-
Represented one of the Washington, DC area’s largest mortgage loan origination companies, devising a plan that allowed the company to honor all commitments to homeowners and to wind-down its operations without filing a formal liquidation proceeding.
