Veteran Bankruptcy and Restructuring Partner Logan Rappaport Joins Hinshaw in New York

Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP today announced that J. Logan Rappaport has joined the firm’s Consumer Financial Services Practice Group as a partner in the New York office. He brings two decades of experience with a wide array of commercial and consumer debtor-creditor matters, from reorganizations under Chapter 11 and liquidations under Chapter 7, to corporate workouts and receiverships.

Logan previously chaired the Financial Services, Creditors’ Rights, and Bankruptcy group at Bronster LLP. Associate Mariam Chubinidze also moved to Hinshaw from Bronster.

“We are delighted to welcome Logan to Hinshaw,” said Brian McGrath, co-leader of Hinshaw’s Consumer Financial Services Practice Group. “He brings a soup-to-nuts approach to handling bankruptcy and restructuring matters, and he also has a successful track record representing clients in litigation. He will assist in growing the firm’s bankruptcy practice on the East Coast and help us to better serve clients in a rapidly evolving legal, regulatory, and financial landscape.”

Logan represents national banks, asset-backed lenders, estate fiduciaries, equipment finance and leasing companies, and alternative finance lenders in the merchant cash advance space. He focuses his practice on corporate workouts and out-of-court restructuring, Chapter 11 reorganizations, creditors’ rights litigation in state and federal (including bankruptcy) courts, asset liquidations under Chapter 7 and state law, and complex matters arising under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and various state laws. He decided to move to Hinshaw because of the firm’s nationwide footprint and its national reputation as a legal service provider to the financial services industry.

“I have a number of shared clients with Hinshaw,” Logan said. “With the firm’s coast-to-coast presence, I have a greater opportunity to grow my practice while securing greater efficiencies for my clients by providing them with a one-stop shop for their various legal needs. With the new administration, companies are facing greater uncertainty and legal risks. I look forward to expanding the firm’s bankruptcy and restructuring capabilities.”

Logan also practiced law at Martin Clearwater & Bell LLP and Pryor & Mandelup, LLP, a boutique bankruptcy firm. He is active in various professional organizations, including the American Bankruptcy Institute, Equipment Leasing and Finance Association, and Turnaround Management Association. He received a B.A. in political science and government from The George Washington University and a J.D. from Fordham University School of Law.
