Malfitano Partners, a unique legal and advisory group based in New York City, announced it has established a Board & Fiduciary Services platform under one of its operating units, Malfitano Advisors, LLC.
The launch comes just after the six-month anniversary since the establishment of Malfitano Partners by nationally known transactional and restructuring advisor Joe Malfitano.
Combining Malfitano’s legal background as a chapter 11 lawyer and his experience as a senior business executive with one of the leading valuation and monetization companies for retail inventory, furniture, fixtures and equipment, industrial machinery and equipment, real estate, accounts receivable and intellectual property, the new platform will focus on fulfilling a critical need to provide an experienced independent fiduciary that understands the law, the restructuring and wind-down process, and the legal and business aspects of the asset valuation and monetization industry.
Malfitano will be looking for opportunities to serve as an independent director, advisory board and oversight board member or board observer in some of the most difficult situations, including companies in the “zone of insolvency,” companies entering or emerging from bankruptcy, and companies seeking to acquire or sell assets or businesses, including “insider” transactions. Malfitano will also look to serve as plan administrator under chapter 11 plans and liquidation trustee for liquidation trusts.
Joe Malfitano, the founder and managing member of Malfitano Partners said, “After spending the last 16 years handling various chapter 11 cases and hundreds of acquisition and disposition transactions in and out of court, both as a lawyer and as a senior business executive, I saw a real need to provide a service to guide companies through those processes in an efficient and clear way from both a legal and business perspective.”
Malfitano Partners was founded by Joseph Malfitano as a New York-based boutique that provides clients globally with a suite of services through two operating companies: Malfitano, PLLC (legal
services) and Malfitano Advisors, LLC (advisory services). Malfitano Partners brings considerable big firm experience with an entrepreneur’s business acumen to deliver a service that creates value in high-
impact situations and a result that can be measured by its clients.
