Attorneys in McCathern’s Bankruptcy, Restructuring, & Creditors' Rights section represent clients in all aspects of bankruptcy, reorganizations, out-of-court restructurings and workouts, re-financing and forbearance negotiations and disputes, collection actions, multi-jurisdictional insolvencies, corporate liquidations, and other bankruptcy-related litigation matters.

On his new role, Van Horn said, “I’m excited for this opportunity and am proud to lead a practice area in a firm that is dedicated to improving people’s lives. With a team that has worked for bankruptcy judges and trustees, we are well positioned to provide high level, cost-effective client services for all aspects of business bankruptcy matters.”

He has represented all constituencies in complex Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases throughout the country, including Chapter 11 debtors, bankruptcy trustees, official committees of unsecured creditors and investors, secured lenders, landlords, general unsecured creditors, and bidders for assets in 363 sales. He has specific experience representing clients in oil and gas, manufacturing, healthcare, restaurant, manufacturing, retail, and technology industries.

Highlights from Van Horn’s representative experience include:

  • Representing Scotia Pacific Company, a Chapter 11 debtor with nearly $1 billion of debt secured by 200,000 acres of Redwood trees (Case No. 07-20027 in the Southern District of Texas Bankruptcy Court)

Currently, Van Horn serves as Vice President of Communications and Publications on the Council of the Bankruptcy Law section of the State Bar of Texas and is a frequent speaker and published author for a number of bankruptcy issues. Recently, Van Horn coordinated and moderated a panel presentation on the Baker Botts LLP v. ASARCO LLC Supreme Court decision and served as a panelist for programs hosted by the American Bar Association on the topics of oil and gas bankruptcy issues, and intellectual property in bankruptcy. Van Horn also co-developed and co-instructed the “Financial Crisis & Restructuring Law” course at The University of Texas at Austin – McCombs School of Business and School of Law.

He is licensed to practice before all state courts in Texas, and the federal district and federal bankruptcy courts in the Northern, Southern, and Eastern Districts of Texas.

After graduating from The University of Texas School of Law, Van Horn served as a federal judicial law clerk for the Honorable Leif M. Clark, United States Bankruptcy Judge (retired) for the Western District of Texas. During law school, he worked as a Research Assistant to Professor Jay L.
