Christopher J. Battaglia has
been a bankruptcy practitioner since 1996, and became a member of this firm
in 2003. Before his relocation to New York, Mr. Battaglia worked for ten years
(the latter three as an associate attorney) at Gordon & Wise, LLP, one
of Boston's most respected bankruptcy boutiques.
Prior to his admission to the bar, Mr. Battaglia gained an
understanding of the bankruptcy process from his work as a senior law
clerk, and insight into the management and financing of a business from
his subsequent role as the law firm’s business manager. After his
admission to the bars of New York and Massachusetts in 1996, Mr.
Battaglia specialized in debtor representations for Gordon & Wise,
LLP, and became well versed in sophisticated bankruptcy reorganization
and appellate issues, as well as complex commercial litigation and
transactional matters.
Since joining Alan Halperin in 1999, Mr. Battaglia has focused his
energies on creditors’ rights and the representation of official
and unofficial committees of unsecured creditors, representing
Committees in the Dana Corporation (Conflicts Counsel), RMA Management
Services, Inc., Alpha Star Insurance, Standard Automotive, Tender
Loving Care Healthcare Services, Inc., Newington Health Care, Hitachi
Seiki USA, de V&P, Insite Services, Homemaker Industries and RMM
Records & Video chapter 11 cases. His immersion in creditor
representations, when combined with Mr. Battaglia’s prior
experience as the manager of a business and then as an advocate for
debtors, provides Halperin Battaglia Raicht, LLP and its clients with
an invaluable versatility and depth of experience.
Mr. Battaglia is a graduate of Suffolk University Law School (cum laude,
1996) and holds an undergraduate degree from Tufts University (1989).
He is admitted to practice before the United States District Courts for
the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York and the District of
Massachusetts, including the Bankruptcy Courts within those
jurisdictions, and the United States Court of Appeals for the First
Circuit. Mr. Battaglia is a member of the American Bankruptcy
Institute (“ABI”) and co-authored seminar materials for the
ABI’s Fifth Annual Northeast Bankruptcy Conference on the subject
of litigating dischargeability (July, 1998). Mr. Battaglia
is also a member of the Boston Bar Association (Business Law/Bankruptcy
Section), the Massachusetts Bar Association, the New York State Bar
Association and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. Contact Christopher J. Battaglia: cbattaglia@halperinlaw.net
