Jeremy Johnson represents distressed companies and other stakeholders in the insolvency process. Although Jeremy’s restructuring and insolvency practice spans various business sectors from retail to manufacturing, he has extensive experience representing distressed health care businesses or participants in distressed M&A processes. Recent engagements in healthcare include senior living owners and operators (including continuing care retirement communities and skilled nursing providers) and acute, post-acute and behavioral health providers. Working closely with Polsinelli’s healthcare and corporate teams, Jeremy helps provide complete solutions for companies experiencing financial distress.
In the last fifteen years, Jeremy has led several large company-side engagements and helped managed distressed situations for clients. Recognizing that every situation is different, Jeremy helps clients utilize out-of-court or in court proceedings as required by the situation.
In addition to company-side and distressed M&A representations, Jeremy represents other stakeholders in the restructuring space, including landlords, committees, individual creditors, trustees and other parties in interest.
