Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case

Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of the New York Post

Chadbourne acted as counsel to the Creditors' Committee in connection with the bankruptcy of the New York Post. Faced with the bankruptcy of the newspaper's owner, Peter S. Kalikow, and the unpredictable behavior of its new operator and financier, Abe Hirschfeld, Chadbourne immediately moved for the termination of Hirschfeld's management agreement. Within six months of the filing, the newspaper's continued operation was assured through its sale to Rupert Murdoch.
