Mark Mintz is co-leader of the firm’s bankruptcy & restructuring team. He advises debtors, creditors, and other stakeholders in bankruptcy, restructuring, and insolvency-related matters.
Mark is co-leader of Jones Walker’s bankruptcy and restructuring team, a national practice whose attorneys regularly handle matters larger and more intricate than those typically seen by firms of comparable size. His own practice centers on debtor and debtor-adjacent representations, with a particular focus on cases marked by financial complexity, intense public scrutiny, and business and reputational consequences that reach well beyond the balance sheet.
Among recent matters, Mark served as lead debtor’s counsel in the mass tort Chapter 11 of a major archdiocese in the southeastern United States, one of the most closely watched religious-institution bankruptcies in the nation. The case gave rise to novel legal questions, contested plan issues, and multiple appeals, and concluded with a resolution comprising hundreds of millions of dollars, including funds for disbursement to abuse survivors, a related bond issue, significant real estate transactions, the sale of a healthcare system, and the transfer of a senior housing authority. In a separate engagement, he represented an association of parishes in the bankruptcy of a New England diocese, which produced the first mass tort bankruptcy plan confirmed following the US Supreme Court’s decision in Purdue Pharma.
Previously, Mark represented a large engineering company on a $25 million claim in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of a Houston-based oil E&P (exploration and production) company that was, at the time, the largest bankruptcy filing in the United States. He successfully recovered 95% of the claim’s value for his client.
