Columbus, Ohio, March 5 – Otterbourg PC launched its mass tort bankruptcy practice group, formalizing what the firm said has been an informal practice group within Otterbourg for a few years.

This cross-departmental practice group is led by bankruptcy and restructuring partner Sunni Beville and litigation partner Adam Silverstein and receives input from Melanie Cyganowski, retired chief judge of the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York and chair of Otterbourg’s bankruptcy and restructuring department.
