January 8, 2009

Jonathan M. Landers, an expert in bankruptcy and insolvency law who has been representing Citibank in matters involving defunct law firms Heller Ehrman and Thelen, has joined Milberg as a partner and will head the firm's new bankruptcy practice. Landers, who was a partner in the New York office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, said the opportunity to build a bankruptcy practice at Milberg "came out of the blue," adding, "This is an entrepreneurial thing, and I think I have an entrepreneurial streak."
