“We are excited to welcome Ryan to Shook,” said Philadelphia Managing Partner Sean Wajert. “He’s an ideal addition to our Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights group. With his advanced training, and experience serving as outside and in-house counsel, Ryan will bring a wealth of knowledge and insight to his work with Shook clients.”
Foley focuses his practice on bankruptcy, creditors’ rights and commercial litigation. His experience includes negotiating, litigating and enforcing all types of claims in bankruptcy in addition to assisting with debtor financing and other financial issues, as well as corporate reorganizations.
