Ms. Pajak's practice is focused primarily on
the representation of creditor and equity committees, as well as operating
debtors and strategic purchasers in chapter 11 cases, in venues throughout the

with the assistance of ST&G, played a critical role in the sale of
the debtors' assets.
In
addition, Ms. Pajak represents several secured creditors in local bankruptcy
cases that are hotly contested, recently obtaining the dismissal of one of these
cases on behalf of her client. Ms. Pajak
also continues to represent the Ownit Liquidating Trust, which was established

In addition, she has also represented
creditor committees in USA Capital First Trust Deed Fund, LLC (Las Vegas, NV), O'Sullivan Industries, Inc. (Atlanta,

representing creditors and debtors both in court and out-of-court
restructurings.
