(LOS ANGELES)  - Isaac M. Pachulski, a partner and senior shareholder at Los Angeles-based Stutman, Treister & Glatt P.C., a bankruptcy boutique that is a leader among business reorganization and insolvency firms, has been admitted as a member of the National Bankruptcy Conference, a prestigious group of the nation’s foremost bankruptcy practitioners.

 Limited to only 60 active members nationwide, the Conference is comprised of a select group of attorneys, judges and educators who have made significant contributions to the study and reform of bankruptcy laws and issues.

 Formed in the 1940s by scholars who had helped Congress in the first comprehensive revision of the 1898 Bankruptcy Act, the National Bankruptcy Conference was a major consultant to Congress in the overhaul of the Act in the 1970s.  It has continued its deep involvement through the current bankruptcy revisions now pending in a Congressional conference committee.
 Nine of the Conference’s members are associated with Los Angeles law firms and three of them are with Stutman, Treister & Glatt.  They are George M. Treister, Robert A. Greenfield and Pachulski.

Pachulski has spent his entire career at Stutman, Treister & Glatt, joining after he was admitted to the bar in 1974.  He became a shareholder in 1980.

 He is currently acting as lead Chapter 11 counsel for Mariner Post-Acute Network, Inc., Mariner Health Group, Inc., and 185 affiliated entities which operate about 400 skilled nursing and long-term acute care facilities.  He is also special counsel to AMC Entertainment in its effort to acquire General Cinemas Corp., which is in the process of being reorganized while in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  Other major clients have included Wilson Foods, Public Service Co. of New Hampshire, Pizza Time Theatre, Sambo’s Restaurants and Penzoil.
