The Case
Neligan LLP represented an ad hoc committee of bondholders of Global Crossing North America, Inc. in what was one of the largest bankruptcies in U.S. history at the time. Neligan LLP was hired to object to the debtor’s plan on behalf of the ad hoc committee, and successfully resolved the matter through negotiation of language in the plan that preserved certain litigation claims on behalf of the committee and its constituent bondholders. Neligan LLP thereafter successfully prosecuted a $200 million litigation claim against JP Morgan Chase, the indenture trustee, on behalf of certain individual bondholders. The firm’s attorneys successfully resolved the claims against JP Morgan Chase in the middle of a five-week jury trial in Houston, Texas.
