Morse focuses his practice on the representation of bondholders, debtors, secured lenders, indenture trustees and creditors' committees. His experience includes both out-of-court restructuring negotiations and representing bondholders in complex matters in bankruptcy courts across the nation. He serves clients across a wide range of industries and sectors, including technology, gaming, media, retail, aerospace, transportation, oil and gas, power generation, mining and manufacturing.

Proskauer Rose LLP announced that Brian S. Rosen has joined the firm's Business Solutions, Governance, Restructuring & Bankruptcy Group as a partner in the New York office. Rosen's practice focuses on Chapter 11 and out-of-court debt restructurings, acquisitions of distressed companies and assets and matters relating to sovereign indebtedness. The move to Proskauer affords Rosen, a long-time bankruptcy and restructuring partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, the opportunity to reunite with his former colleague Martin Bienenstock, who joined Proskauer in 2012 after leaving Weil 10 years ago to join Dewey & LeBoeuf.
