An attorney in the firm’s Bankruptcy & Restructuring Group, Scott Fleischer has a national practice representing owners and developers of shopping centers and malls when their tenants file Chapter 11 cases or default on their leases. Scott’s experience on behalf of these multi-landlord groups in retail and restaurant cases includes lease obligations, proposed lease assignments, cure disputes, sale processes, plans, claims, Subchapter V issues, and more.
Given Scott’s niche experience and concurrent representation of landlord clients in a given case, he brings economies of scale and efficiencies to his work. Scott’s understanding of the marketplaces where people shop and dine is also enhanced from his substantial involvement in the trade group ICSC, including being selected for its national Next Generation Leadership Network.
Scott’s legal practice also includes advising landlords pre-bankruptcy on strategy and enforcement, including lease amendments, termination agreements, and acquisition/disposition strategies. In addition to his primary practice, Scott has experience representing debtors, creditors’ committees, and Chapter 7 trustees in bankruptcy cases.
Scott was named to The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch list, Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights/Insolvency and Reorganization Law from 2023 to 2025.
