Stinson LLP Of Counsel Jeffrey Schlerf is featured in a Law360 Pulse article, "Stinson Adds Restructuring, Sports Atty From GrayRobinson."

Schlerf highlights his decision to join the firm in Tampa and provides insight into his unique blend of experience in bankruptcy and sports law, which includes having served as Delaware counsel to Major League Baseball during the Los Angeles Dodgers Chapter 11 proceedings. "I'm very fortunate that I discovered this firm, because it's a really, really good blend of bankruptcy, which I've been doing the longest, for three decades, with sports, which is a practice that I've been developing," Schlerf said.

Schlerf, who also maintains an office in Wilmington, Delaware, details his journey to the legal profession. He says working as an economist and a strategic planning officer at a bank prior to law school helped lead him to his bankruptcy practice.

Schlerf is highly regarded both inside and outside the courtroom for his advice and advocacy in creditors' rights, financial restructuring and corporate reorganization matters, as well as for his deep knowledge of the sports industry. His clients are creditors, debtors, committees, trustees, purchasers and other parties in U.S. restructurings, including those involving professional sports teams. Schlerf also advises sports organizations on complex financial challenges and other business-related matters.
