Ronald J. Friedman is a partner in the Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights and Corporate Restructuring Groups, as well as the Deputy Partner-In-Charge of the Firm.

Ron is widely regarded as a leading practitioner in the field of bankruptcy and creditor’s rights, with vast experience in representing all forms of clients including bankruptcy trustees, liquidating trustees, creditors, creditor committees, and parties involved in out of court work-outs. Over the course of his career, Ron has worked on cases in a multitude of jurisdictions and has routinely problem solved with our clients to achieve favorable business results. It is quite common for the most difficult and tense business situations to be brought to Ron’s attention. His keen ability to cut through the complex issues and achieve a consensus solution (whether in or out of court) usually provide all parties to the dispute with a platform to move forward and reach a resolution. Ron has also been appointed as the receiver and liquidating trustee in a number of cases, successfully operating and winding down businesses of all forms and size.

Ron represents clients in bankruptcy cases, workouts, restructurings, liquidations, distressed debt transactions, acquisitions, and complex litigation. He also has extensive experience counseling clients in the telecommunications, real estate, and equipment leasing industries on all facets of their corporate operations. Recently, when a long standing client of the Firm required assistance in the negotiation and sale of his business, Ron was intimately involved in the purchase price negotiation, the term sheet preparation, and the consummation of the asset purchase agreement so that the client was able to keep his focus and attention on the day to day operations of the business. That collaboration and expert guidance enhanced the client’s ability to achieve the targeted purchase price while ensuring that the transaction went from dream to reality.

In addition to his legal practice, Ron serves as the President and Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Gulls Amateur Hockey Association, a not-for-profit organization that has been operating in Nassau County for over 40 years.
