He has extensive experience representing committees, debtors, special servicers, indenture trustees, individual creditors and liquidating trustees in bankruptcy proceedings and out-of-court workouts in all chapters of the Bankruptcy Code. Mark is a member of the Bankruptcy + Reorganizations and Business Litigation groups. 

Mark has assisted investors in their acquisition of distressed assets and has prepared and prosecuted proceedings including main cases as well as adversary proceedings and estimation trials before bankruptcy courts throughout the United States.

Since 2019, Mark has been a core part of the Robinson+Cole team serving as lead counsel for the Official Committee of Tort Claimants in the Imerys Talc America, Inc. bankruptcy cases pending in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Imerys represents the first talc-driven bankruptcy case in history.

Mark represented an indenture trustee in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of a bank holding company in which no official committee was appointed. Through the indenture trustee’s work, the total distributable value was increased by millions and a settlement was reached that circumvented the need for a plan process thereby allowing the case to be structurally dismissed. Mark also served as co-counsel to the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders in BPS Holdings Inc. (In re Performance Sports Group) in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

Business Litigation

Mark has a broad range of experience handling commercial litigation matters including contract disputes, preferential and fraudulent transfers, declaratory judgments and injunctive relief, and breach of fiduciary duty actions.

Bankruptcy + Reorganizations Group Earns Multiple Recognitions at 18th Annual Turnaround Atlas Awards

Robinson+Cole’s Bankruptcy + Reorganizations group earned multiple recognitions at The Global M&A Network’s 18th Annual Turnaround Atlas Awards on May 12, 2026, highlighting the team’s work on two high‑profile restructuring matters and a related individual professional distinction. The awards honor the best value‑creating transactions, as well as outstanding firms, professionals, and leaders from the global restructuring, insolvency, and distressed investing communities. “Ch. 11 Reorganization of the Year” was presented in recognition of the pivotal role the firm played as counsel to the Tort Claimants’ Committee in the landmark Chapter 11 case involving Presperse Corporation, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation of the Americas. The matter was led by partners Mark Fink and Natalie Ramsey, with support from Laurie Krepto, Peter Knight, and Jenna Scoville. Robinson+Cole also represented the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in SWC Industries LLC, securing a favorable settlement that delivered significant additional recovery and a strong liquidation plan for unsecured creditors. That matter was awarded “Distressed Investment Deal of the Year,” and was led by Natalie Ramsey along with Jamie Edmonson, Rachel Jaffe Mauceri, Evan Lazerowitz, Laurie Krepto, and Rick Willi.  Rachel Jaffe Mauceri also received a notable recognition, being named to Global M&A Network’s 14th annual Top 100 Restructuring Professionals list as a Top 50 Restructuring Lawyer.

Honest, but Still Unfortunate? Ninth Circuit Defines Authority of Social Security Administration to Recoup Overpayments Following Chapter 7 Discharge

ABI Journal

The article highlights a notable Ninth Circuit decision where it ruled that the Social Security Administration (SSA) does not get a free pass to claw back overpayments just because the payment came from a benefits program, like Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. In this particular case, the court ruled that recoupment was impermissible given that the overpayment arose from the SSA’s own error, the debtor already received a no-asset Chapter 7 discharge, and there was no evidence of malfeasance by the debtor.
