Greg is noted for filing the first Chapter 15 Bankruptcy in the state of Florida when he successfully obtained “foreign main case” recognition of insolvency proceedings for a failed financial institution in Barbados.

His work includes representation of institutional lenders regarding non-performing loans including negotiating and documenting workout agreements and enforcing loan documentation through litigation.

Prior to private practice, Greg clerked for a United States Bankruptcy Judge in the Middle District of Florida.
