National law firm Husch Blackwell is pleased to announce the expansion of its insolvency and commercial bankruptcy practice with the addition of partner Tara LeDay, who joins the firm’s Financial Services & Capital Markets industry group. Based in Austin, Texas, she joins the firm from Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Aughtry.
LeDay is an experienced litigator who focuses her practice on restructuring, creditors’ rights, collections, and bankruptcy. She has a nationwide practice representing bankruptcy trustees, creditors, and corporate and high-net-worth debtors.
“Tara is an exceptional attorney who brings energy and a forward momentum—she will be a terrific addition to our Texas bankruptcy team,” said Sverre Roang, leader of the firm’s Financial Services and Capital Markets industry group. “We anticipate a significant and growing need to deepen our insolvency bench in the coming years, and Tara will play a key role in that growth. We are delighted she has joined our team at Husch Blackwell.”
LeDay counsels taxing authorities, government entities, energy companies, and real estate developers. She regularly represents creditors in high-profile bankruptcy matters, including in some of the largest real estate, retail, and oil and gas bankruptcies filed across the country. She has practiced in bankruptcy courts in every jurisdiction other than Alaska and Hawaii.
“Husch Blackwell has a well-respected bankruptcy practice in Texas, specifically in Austin and Houston,” LeDay said. “I’m eager to build upon the firm’s existing strengths and resources while also expanding the firm’s capabilities and profile nationally in insolvency.”
