Mintz and Oppenheim Reach Plan Confirmation in Connecticut Diocese Ch. 11 Case

Firm News

New Orleans

Mark Mintz, a partner and co-leader of the bankruptcy & restructuring team in the New Orleans office, and Samantha Oppenheim, an associate on the bankruptcy & restructuring team, successfully represented the Association of Parishes in obtaining confirmation of a consensual plan of reorganization in the Norwich Roman Catholic Diocese's Chapter 11 bankruptcy. A Connecticut bankruptcy judge approved the Chapter 11 plan on May 21, 2025, which will clear the way for claimants to be compensated through a $31 million settlement fund. US Bankruptcy Judge James J. Tancredi said the lawyers involved "struck an appropriate balance between the rights of claimants and the other policies that are inherent in the Bankruptcy Code" in a Law360 article covering the approved plan and settlement.
