Save as PDF

Amid a doubling of corporate filings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey over the past year, retail-related cases – like Bed Bath & Beyond and David’s Bridal – dominated the docket, according to a newly released report.

Of the large bankruptcy cases, 53% were assigned to just two judges: Chief Judge Michael Kaplan and Judge John Sherwood.

Hackensack-based firm Cole Schotz PC led the pack as the busiest debtor counsel, with 11 debtor-side representations.
