Published January 21, 2006
Ira Bodenstein, the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee in Chicago, is stepping down to return to private practice after a nearly eight-year stint. On Monday, Bodenstein will become a partner in law firm Shaw Gussis Fishman Glantz Wolfson & Towbin, a boutique that specializes in bankruptcy and real estate. Bodenstein is expected to enhance the firm's ability to attract top cases, said Steven Towbin, a partner in the Chicago firm with 27 lawyers, including its latest hire.
The trustee's office is a watchdog unit of the Justice Department that oversees debtors, creditors and court-appointed trustees in bankruptcy cases. The local office has nearly 30 employees, including 10 lawyers, and also monitors the bankruptcy courts in Wisconsin. Bodenstein said the U.S. trustee in Dallas will be the interim trustee in Chicago until a replacement is named.
