Added Steve, “Glenn’s ability to find creative solutions, mitigate risk, and navigate clients through the complex capital structures of troubled companies makes him an ideal addition to our practice. We’re honored to welcome him.”

For more than four decades, Siegel has aided major stakeholders in protecting their interests through every phase of novel and complex bankruptcy proceedings. He has counseled clients in all types of insolvency and other distressed situations, both inside and outside of the courtroom, with tenacious efficiency. In doing so, Siegel takes a full-scope approach, balancing legal best practices with his clients’ financial goals while protecting their business relationships with the affected enterprises. 

“I am grateful for the many clients who have sought and trusted my counsel over the years, and I look forward to entering this next chapter carrying these relationships forward. Moore & Van Allen is highly respected, especially in the bankruptcy and restructuring industry, and I am excited to join this dedicated and talented team,” Siegel said.

Most recently, Siegel represented the largest secured required lender in the Chapter 11 case of MVK FarmCo LLC, the nation’s largest peach distributor, leading the wind down of the business. In the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of automotive manufacturer Delphi Corp., he counseled the largest debtor-in-possession lender in its acquisition of Delphi. In Residential Capital’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Siegel counseled the largest residential mortgage-backed securities trustees to achieve a multibillion-dollar settlement.

In his many years of distinguished practice, Siegel has served the industry in a variety of capacities. He currently belongs to the American Bar Foundation and the American Bankruptcy Institute 40 Under 40 Committee and is a past member of the American Bankruptcy Institute’s Board of Directors chairing the claims trading committee and New York City Conference.
