At the time of his appointment, Judge Bentley was a partner in the bankruptcy and restructuring department of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP in New York. His practice focused on complex litigation in bankruptcy courts, as well as other federal and state courts, and included the representation of official creditors’ committees, creditor groups, debtors, trustees, and examiners in major chapter 11 cases.
