Womble Adds Finance, Bankruptcy & Restructuring Trip, Expanding Financial Services Capabilities

 

Their practice spans the full lifecycle of troubled asset situations, from early-stage loan workouts and litigation strategy through judgment enforcement and recovery. Replevin and bankruptcy are central to that work, encompassing asset recovery strategies, detinue actions, forfeiture defense, and deficiency proceedings on a nationwide basis, as well as creditor representation across Chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13, including plan objections, motions for relief from stay, and valuation disputes before courts throughout the country.

 

“Adding attorneys of this caliber, with this breadth of experience serving financial institution clients, is exactly how we continue to grow the value we bring to the market,” said Taber Cathcart, Co-Leader of the firm’s Finance, Bankruptcy & Restructuring practice group. “Mike, Armando, and Rob are a tremendous addition to an already strong team, and we are very pleased to welcome them to the firm.”

 

Collectively, the group brings experience across commercial loan disputes, lender liability defense, contract matters, and commercial and residential foreclosures, as well as the enforcement of security interests and domestic and foreign judgments. The practice extends to advising financial services and title insurance companies in real property matters, including deed and mortgage reformation and priority disputes, and to representing clients facing claims under federal consumer protection statutes, including FCRA, FDCPA, RESPA, TCPA, and TILA.

 

This addition reflects continued growth across the Finance, Bankruptcy & Restructuring practice group. Earlier this year, the firm welcomed a 36-person Consumer Financial Services team focused on regulatory, compliance, and licensing matters for banks, fintech companies, and other consumer-facing financial institutions.
