Adam calls himself a bankruptcy omnivore. Examples of the breadth of Adam’s bankruptcy practice includes his representation of a Chapter 7 trustee of individual with multiple partial interests in real estate where he arranged for all interests to be sold in multiple transactions resulting in unsecured creditors receiving a significant dividend; his representation of creditor defendants in preference actions by trustee with negotiation of very favorable settlements; his representation of a chain of retail clothing stores in a successful Chapter 11 reorganization; his successful representation of a creditor in challenging the Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges of two individuals including an affirmance on appeal; and his representation of a failing hospital in shutting down and negotiating with its bank lender to successfully avoid bankruptcy.
Adam majored in mathematics in college and worked in an actuarial program at John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company prior to attending law school. Also Adam’s past experience at the FDIC has allowed him to see firsthand how the “other side” thinks. He uses this insight to plan the best strategy for his clients.
Adam was admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1989, following a judicial clerkship in New Haven, Connecticut with Judge Jose A. Cabranes, then of the US District Court for the District of Connecticut. Adam was previously an attorney at Posternak Blankstein & Lund LLP.
