Katten adds Peter Knight to insolvency and restructuring practice

By Taylor Fox

New York, Feb. 18 – Katten added bankruptcy attorney Peter Knight to its insolvency and restructuring practice in Chicago, according to a news release.

Knight has more than two decades of experience and was chair of the Chicago finance department and global co-chair of the restructuring and special situations practice at his previous firm.

“[Knight] is a highly respected and accomplished participant in our industry and has been for years,” said Katten private credit practice chair Michael Jacobson in the release. “Having him on our team further expands our ability to counsel our clients through all potential life cycles of a given transaction.”

He advises clients in a range of out-of-court restructurings, bankruptcy proceedings and other special situations at all levels of the capital structure, with a focus on representing senior secured lenders.

He has particular experience in developing and implementing out-of-court restructuring strategies, including UCC foreclosure transactions, assignments for the benefit of creditors, rescue financing structures, receivership proceedings, exchange offers and rights offerings.

As a result of his background and experience, Knight will work closely with Katten’s private credit attorneys.

Katten is a Chicago-based full-service law firm.
