George is the senior member of the firm. As shown in the picture, he
spends a lot of time dropping in
on other members of the firm. This
is not because he does not have
enough to do. George works with
each lawyer in the firm to make
sure that its clients' needs are
timely met, and that clients
are served with the hallmark traits
of the firm: expertise, common
sense, and economy.
George is well known throughout
the northeast, and is widely
recognized as the "go to" lawyer in Maine for difficult
corporate and commercial situations.
George has handled such diverse
matters as representing a publicly
held, Maine based, debtor
in Chapter 11 proceedings in the
District of Maine, representing
Chapter 11 debtors who were integrated, state of the
art, pulp and paper manufacturers, reorganizing and
restructuring the ownership interests
in a nuclear power facility, structuring
the out-of-court liquidation of
one of Maine's largest real estate
companies, and, recently, representing
Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company
in the Delaware based Chapter 11
proceedings of Stone & Webster, Inc., regarding
a $250,000,000
decommissioning contract between
Maine Yankee and Stone & Webster. In
the mid-1990's, George served as counsel to the Creditors'
Committee in one of the then-largest
Chapter 11 cases in the country, Cajun
Electric Power Cooperative, Inc., in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
This year, the Maine Bankruptcy Court awarded George and the firm an accomplishment
bonus for their work as counsel for the Creditors’ Committee in the Jackson
Brook Institute Chapter 11 case. The Court recognized the firm’s
extraordinary role in achieving a 100% dividend for creditors in a highly troubled
case. Today, George is involved on behalf of diverse interests in a
number of substantial bankruptcy
cases pending in Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, New York, the District of Delaware
and elsewhere, and
serves as national bankruptcy counsel
for a publicly held company headquartered
in Maine. George is a 1976 graduate
of the University of Chicago Law
School, a fellow
of the American College of Bankruptcy, is rated "AV"
by Martindale Hubbell, and has
been listed in every edition of Best
Lawyers in America. In February
of 2005, Chambers and Partners,
a prestigious London firm that publishes global legal guides, announced
that it would include George as a Leader in [His] Field in their
new Bankruptcy Guide. |
