When a company’s really in trouble, on its last legs ready to fall, it takes expert help to remain standing. And when companies turn to someone to help them in times of need, the man they often turn to is Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom’s George Panagakis. Panagakis helps companies with everything to lose, representing clients in business reorganizations, debt restructurings, and in numerous Chapter 11 cases. He’s good at his job, and has been able to help many a nearly defunct company survive to continue business. Some of his clients have included Eagle Food Centers, Inc.; Enesco International, Inc.; Hartmarx Corporation; and Neumann Homes, Inc. But sometimes there’s no help to be had, so Panagakis is there to aid creditors who have interests in the failing company, having represented CITI Group, Credit Suisse First Boston, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase and other lenders as agent or significant participant. He’s been listed as one of the leading lawyers in corporate restructuring and insolvency in Chambers USA
every year since 2004, was selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America 2009,
and was named by Turnaround & Workouts
as one of the top 10 restructuring attorneys under the age of 40 in 2002. He also speaks on restructuring topics and has contributed as an author to Norton’s Annual Survey of Bankruptcy Law
. It’s a basic fact of business that sometimes businesses fail, but sometimes there’s a small region of time in which a business can be turned around, for businesses able to recognize and seize this last change, George Panagakis is someone who’s nice to have representing their interests.
