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.
