Robinson+Cole’s Bankruptcy + Reorganizations group won awards for both “Out of Court Restructuring of the Year” and “Healthcare Restructuring of the Year” presented by Global M&A Network at its 17th Annual Turnaround Atlas Awards. The event was hosted on September 23, 2025, at the Metropolitan Club in New York, NY.

The “Out of Court Restructuring of the Year” award was presented for the secured party sale of Gander Group, a recognized leader in casino continuity and loyalty programs, to Stran Loyalty Solutions, LLC, a leading outsourced marketing solutions provider that leverages its promotional products and loyalty incentive expertise. Robinson+Cole Bankruptcy + Reorganizations group co-chair, Patrick M. Birney, led the acquisition, which created value by combining Gander Groups’ established presence and expertise in casino loyalty programs with Stran’s operational infrastructure and broad customer base, enabling cross-selling, operational efficiencies, and expended market reach, with projected revenue and cash flow growth.

Robinson+Cole’s Bankruptcy + Reorganizations group also received the “Healthcare Restructuring of the Year” award for its representation of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in In re Mariner Health Central Inc. (N.D. Calif. 2022-23). The team representing the committee included Bankruptcy + Reorganizations co-chair Natalie D. Ramsey and partners Jamie L. Edmonson and Rachel Jaffe Mauceri, as well as Robinson+Cole attorneys John L. Cordani, Curtis J. Crowther, Tasnuva (Taz) Islam, and Janet (Zhanna) Kljyan. The debtors were three members of a corporate family (Mariner Health Care) that oversaw, managed, and operated approximately 20 skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in California, plus additional facilities outside California. Robinson+Cole's co-representation of the Mariner Committee led significantly to the resolution of all of the litigation pending against the debtors and their non-debtor affiliates and a consensual plan. The firm’s co-committee advisors included co-counsel Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hamilton, LLP and Committee financial advisor, Province. Other key professionals included the Mariner Debtors’ advisors, Raines Feldman Littrell LLP, Pachulski, Stang, Ziehl & Jones and Sierra Constellation Partners.

“We’re deeply honored by these recognitions, which underscore the sophistication and tenacity of our Bankruptcy + Reorganizations attorneys,” said Natalie Ramsey. “Each matter presented unique challenges, and our ability to deliver strategic, client-focused solutions is a testament to the depth of talent and collaboration across our group. These awards reflect not just meaningful outcomes, but the trust our clients place in us to navigate complex, high-stakes restructurings.”

The independently governed Turnaround Atlas Awards honor the best value-creating transactions, outstanding firms, professionals and leaders from the global restructuring, insolvency, and distressed investing communities.

In March, M&A Advisor also recognized Robinson+Cole’s Bankruptcy + Reorganizations group with the “Ch. 11 Reorganization of the Year” award in the under $100MM category for its representation of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in In re Mariner Health Central Inc.
