Kramer Levin once again won the Chapter 11 Reorganization of the Year (upper middle market) for its work in the Cooper Standard bankruptcy case at the M&A Advisor's Fifth Annual Distressed Investing Summit and Turnaround Awards Gala held in Florida. We represented the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Cooper-Standard Holdings, Inc. The Kramer Levin team was led by partners Kenneth H. Eckstein, Thomas Moers Mayer, Robert T. Schmidt, Abbe L. Dienstag and Gregory Aaron Horowitz; and associates Yekaterina Chernyak and Sarah Schindler-Williams.

Last year, Kramer Levin won the Distressed M&A Deal of the Year ($100 mm and above) and Business Services Sector Deal of the Year awards for the acquisition by our client Deloitte of substantially all of the assets of BearingPoint's North American Public Services practice out of bankruptcy. The firm also won the Consumer Services Sector Deal of the Year award for client Bally Total Fitness.
