He has also served as counsel to purchasers and sellers of industrial, office and multifamily real estate, with a particular expertise in real estate financing. He is a frequent lecturer on bankruptcy topics, particularly on the impact of bankruptcy issues on real estate transactions. Twice ranked as one of New England’s “Top 100” lawyers, Mr. Goldberg is a Fellow of the American College of Bankruptcy and is rated as a leading bankruptcy lawyer in Massachusetts by the following: Chambers USA – America’s Leading Business Lawyers, since 2006, and Super Lawyers Massachusetts – Bankruptcy, since 2004.
What Michael most enjoys about his career… What I most enjoy about bankruptcy practice is the challenge of convincing a multitude of competing constituencies, all of whom have suffered financial losses, that their common interest is in a negotiated resolution permitting the continuation of a renewed business enterprise – and the rewarding and sometimes surprising collaborations that result.
