Previously with DLA Piper, Johnson has a wide-ranging restructuring practice with experience advising domestic and international clients in insolvency proceedings, out-of-court restructurings and insolvency issues in non-distressed transactions. He has served as counsel to corporate debtors, committees, creditors, purchasers of distressed assets, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other stakeholders in numerous bankruptcy cases, with a particular emphasis on corporate debtor and buy-side asset sale representation.

Kerr, a partner in the firm's litigation department, who has led the office since 2008. Miller is currently representing Louis J. Freeh, Chapter 11 Trustee for MF Global, which, with $41 billion in assets at the time of filing, is the largest bankruptcy filing of 2011 and the eighth largest in U. S. history.
