Mark Grossmann

Mark Grossmann knows how to make deals happen. For more than 20 years, he has guided principals and finance sources alike through critical transactions that have helped them grow, compete and realize value. He is known for a refreshingly direct approach that cuts away extraneous issues and gets to the heart of what the parties need. Mark knows that lawyers are often seen as obstacles who can bury the deal in the legal details. He takes a different approach — one based on market knowledge, sharp analysis and a keen sense of priorities. He'll stand firm to get the "right" terms for every deal, but never lets minor or academic issues bring progress to a halt. By keeping the deal moving toward a timely close, Mark makes sure his clients reap its full benefit, while at the same time protecting their legal interests. A deft quarterback, Mark assembles and balances resources from around the firm to address the diverse issues that arise in every transaction. He weighs competing points of view with client priorities in mind and emerges with strategies that meet both immediate needs and long-term goals. Mark has handled hundreds of transactions in the United States and around the world. Clients often turn to him for insight on "what's market," in a given industry or deal structure. Not only does he know the terms, he knows why they matter and how they will play out from contract negotiations through post-closing operations. Mark has deep experience in industries including finance, technology, manufacturing, consulting, real estate, retail, parking, pharmaceutical, security and health care.

Decades ago he was Martin also teaches Corporate Reorganization at Harvard Law School and University of Michigan Law School. In a highly competitive process, Martin was chosen to represent the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico, which he has successfully done for seven years and continues to do. Debtors, Creditors, Investors, and Directors. Martin’s accomplishments explain his reputation. In the Texaco chapter 11 case he formulated the legal theory that convinced Pennzoil to accept $3 billion in exchange for its $11 billion judgment against Texaco, while Texaco paid all other creditors in full. General Motors and Chrysler Financial trusted Martin to represent them both and to formulate a strategy to save GM and Chrysler, which he presented to President Obama’s US Auto Task Force. The Task Force adopted Martin’s strategy and he caused it to be successfully implemented. In the Owens Corning chapter 11 case, Martin won a landmark decision in the Third Circuit to convert his hedge fund and bank clients’ return from approximately $450 million into $2.25 billion. Amidst the chaos at Enron, Martin engineered a strategy to save its many businesses and formulated a chapter 11 plan that ultimately paid most creditors in full or nearly in full. He charted the takeover of troubled Finova for a joint venture between Berkshire Hathaway and Leucadia National Corp., and led the successful restructurings of Capmark, Ambac, and NewPage. Martin led the Firm’s representation of the Caesars Entertainment creditors’ committee and converted a five cent offer into a sixty six cent return. In leading the representation of the Westinghouse creditors’ committee, Martin attained full payment for the committee’s constituents. Martin also developed the multi-jurisdictional Colombian-U.S.-Canadian reorganization plan for Pacific Exploration, supported by its bank creditors and bond creditors. Martin drafted Ireland’s restructuring statute when many investment banks explained Ireland needed to change its insolvency laws to attract new capital. Practice based on Scholarship and Client Service. Martin’s achievements and retentions for bet-the-company matters stem from his conducting a multidisciplinary practice drawing on his combined experience in restructuring, corporate governance, reorganization, prospect theory, game theory, litigation, appellate practice, Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley.

Martin’s ultimate assignment thus far is to represent the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico, to create a sustainable economy for its people and creditors. Martin counsels the Oversight Board and has successfully argued trial judgments and appeals that saved the Commonwealth many billions of dollars, while restructuring over $60 billion and pension liabilities out of a total of $75 billion of bond debt and $55 billion of unfunded pension debt. Martin is flattered the Oversight Board wants him to finish the job.
