Carrington Coleman’s Mark Castillo and Michael Sutherland have been selected to the Lawdragon 500 Leading Global Bankruptcy & Restructuring Lawyers for 2025.

Selection is based on peer nominations and extensive editorial review of an attorney’s record of successful representation of companies, financiers, and suppliers. These honorees exemplify the “breadth of experience in law and life they bring to the practice of tuning out the noise and finding the path forward through tough negotiation, litigation, or complex financial arrangements,” highlighting both their skill and resilience. 

Mark Castillo regularly represents Chapter 11 debtors, secured and unsecured creditors, official committees, and Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 trustees in bankruptcy litigation. He has tried suits involving millions of dollars in bankruptcy-related claims, including claims of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, turnover, conversion, and contract claims, and has litigated or settled millions more in preference and fraudulent-transfer claims.

Large corporate lenders, debtors, healthcare companies, airlines, and retail giants, as well as not-for-profit organizations and municipalities rely on Mike Sutherland for his leadership in insolvency issues, business ownership disputes, directors and officers, litigation, insolvency and reorganization, the occasional receivership action, and professional liability matters.
