International law firm Proskauer announced that David Hillman will be joining as partner in its Corporate Department in the New York office.

Hillman's practice focuses on corporate restructuring, with an emphasis on the representation of secured creditors, ad hoc groups, hedge funds, buyers of distressed assets and other major stakeholders in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases across a wide array of industries. Practicing for over 24 years, he has substantial experience in every phase of distressed investing and litigating issues involving plan confirmation, solvency, valuation, financing and cash collateral disputes, contested 363 sales, fraudulent transfers, equitable subordination, recharacterization breach of fiduciary duty and similar disputes.

"We are pleased to welcome David to Proskauer," said Martin Bienenstock, partner and chair of Proskauers Business Solutions, Governance, Restructuring & Bankruptcy Group. "Davids acclaimed intellectual and practical prowess in formulating restructurings for creditors, many of which are Proskauer clients, is a perfect match with our restructuring practice."

"David is a seasoned leader who brings a wealth of experience in large restructurings and insolvency issues and holds an impressive track record on creditor rights matters having represented a wide range of providers of private credit," said Steven Ellis, co-head of the Private Credit Group and member of the Firms Executive Committee.

"I am extremely excited to join Proskauer," Hillman said. "The synergies between my secured creditor experience representing hedge funds, and Proskauers Private Credit Group, make this the ideal platform for the next stage of my practice."
