Privacy in Bankruptcy: Only You Can Prevent Harm by Sealing, Redacting, or Not Filing (Jan 2023)
In the ordinary course of administering bankruptcy cases, individuals’ home addresses and other personally identifying information is posted on a public docket.

Too Many Hats in the Ethical Ring: When Insiders, Affiliates, Friends, and Family Show Up All Over a Restructuring (Jan 2023)

What is a careful lawyer to do?
