Duane Morris LLP has named associates William Heuer in New York and Christopher Winter in Wilmington, DE, to the firm partnership. Heuer practices in the area of business and financial restructuring, bankruptcy law and creditors' rights litigation. He has been involved in a number of landmark bankruptcy cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Winter represents debtors, creditors' committees and secured and unsecured creditors in Chapters 11 and 7 business bankruptcies, and has represented trustees and defendants in bankruptcy and related litigation in the state and federal courts of Delaware. He also represents borrowers, lenders and investors in a variety of financing transactions, including secured and asset-based credit facilities and venture capital financings.

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, New York, has elected Alice Belisle Eaton and Elizabeth R. McColm to the firm partnership in the bankruptcy department. Eaton will target her practice on corporate restructurings and Chapter 11 cases, focusing on transactions arising in the context of out-of-court workouts, post-petition financings, asset sales and emergence transactions, including exit financings and rights offerings. McColm will focus on insolvency matters for debtors, official creditors committees, ad hoc bondholder groups, investors and acquirers.

Anderson Kill & Olick, P.C. has announced the retirement of Arthur S. Olick after a distinguished legal career spanning more than half a century. A former federal prosecutor who joined the firm that came to bear his name in 1974, Olick was a pioneer first in the formation of asbestos bankruptcy trusts and then in the orderly dissolution of major law firms. In connection with the bankruptcy reorganization of Johns Manville, Olick was an architect of the Manville Reorganization Trust and also served as trial counsel for many asbestos producers in the personal injury litigation. He has also been a major factor in the reorganizations and dissolutions of numerous professional partnerships and law firms such as Finley Kumble; Laventhal & Horwath; Lord Day & Lord; Barrett Smith; Gaston & Snow; Bower & Gardner; Shea & Gould; Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon; and Dreyer & Traub.

McDermott Will & Emery LLP has promoted Nava Hazan of the firm's New York's office to partner. She focuses on creditors' and debtors' rights, corporate reorganizations, bankruptcy proceedings and commercial transactions.
