New York, NY (July 14, 2009) - Anderson Kill & Olick, P.C. is pleased to announce that Todd E. Duffy, a former principal of Duffy & Atkins LLP, has joined Anderson Kill as head of the firm’s Bankruptcy and Restructuring practice.

A veteran of the bankruptcy practices of several major New York law firms, including Greenberg Traurig LLP, Mr. Duffy formed his own firm in 2005 and built a national practice.  Representative clients include a specialty printing company in Chapter 11; municipal entities that are creditors of Lehman Brothers; an ad hoc committee of over 300 individual creditors in the Refco bankruptcy case; a major California city as a creditor in a corporate bankruptcy; a medical device company in Chapter 11 and several official creditors’ committees.

“Since starting his own practice a few short years ago, Todd has built an outstanding book of business and ably represented both restructuring companies and creditors in an impressive variety of proceedings,” said Robert M. Horkovich, managing partner of Anderson Kill & Olick. “We are impressed by his ability to counsel distressed companies and help them find solutions outside of bankruptcy court as well as within it. We are confident that he will help our talented bankruptcy team maximize its potential.”

Prior to attending law school, Mr. Duffy worked for six years as a bankruptcy paralegal in top law firms in Philadelphia.  As a student at St. John’s University School of Law, Mr. Duffy was awarded two Corpus Juris Secundum Awards as well as a Dean’s Merit Scholarship, and he served as an Editor for St. John’s Journal of Legal Commentary. Upon graduation, Mr. Duffy served as a federal law clerk to Judge Stephen D. Gerling, the Chief Judge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of New York.

Mr. Duffy is admitted in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit as well as state and Federal courts in New York and New Jersey. He is Co-Chair of the Bankruptcy Law Committee, New York County Lawyers Association, and a member of the American Bankruptcy Institute where he serves as an Associate Editor for the American Bankruptcy Institute Journal. In addition to his J.D. from St. John’s University, he holds a B.S. from Ursinus College.

Joining Mr. Duffy in Anderson Kill’s Bankruptcy and Restructuring practice is Dennis J. Nolan, formerly an associate at Duffy & Atkins. Like Mr. Duffy, Mr. Nolan worked for many years as a paralegal before earning his J.D. from Fordham University School of Law, where he was on the Dean’s List.  In fifteen years as an attorney and paralegal, Mr. Nolan has worked on a wide range of complex legal matters, including bankruptcy, aviation litigation, antitrust and medical malpractice. He is admitted in New York and a member of the New York County Lawyers Association and the American Bankruptcy Institute.
