Bennett Spiegel has advised debtors, creditors, creditors' committees, bondholders, trustees, and asset purchasers in complex restructurings and Chapter 11 bankruptcies for more than three decades. Bennett's memberships include the American Bankruptcy Institute, Los Angeles Bankruptcy Forum, Financial Lawyers Conference, and the editorial board of The Bankruptcy Strategist.

Bennett represented the largest bondholder in the recently concluded Chapter 11 cases of Stearns Holdings and its affiliates in New York where, after negotiating a restructuring support agreement, the bondholders voted unanimously to accept the confirmed plan.

Bennett recently represented an oil and gas company and its affiliates as debtors in confirming their Chapter 11 plan in San Antonio. He previously represented a large financial institution as a defendant in the Thornburg Mortgage Chapter 11 cases in Baltimore, where he settled claims exceeding US$500 million asserted by the Chapter 11 trustee for less than five percent of the amount asserted after nine years of litigation.
