Brian Levy, an experienced creditors’ rights, bankruptcy, and commercial litigation attorney, has re-joined Morris, Manning & Martin as a partner in the firm’s Creditors’ Rights & Bankruptcy and Litigation practices in Atlanta. Levy primarily represents financial institutions, non-traditional lenders, mortgage servicers, secondary debt purchasers, and other creditors in out-of-court loan workouts and restructurings, bankruptcy proceedings, and related litigation.
“We are thrilled to welcome Brian back to the firm. His experience will be a real asset to our clients in every industry,” said MMM Managing Partner Simon Malko. “Brian will be a key player in an incredibly timely and relevant practice area that is central to our goal of growing the financial services practice in Atlanta.”
This marks Levy's second tenure with MMM, having previously spent nearly eight years with the firm as a general commercial litigator. Prior to his return, Levy was a partner in Burr Forman LLP’s Creditors’ Rights & Bankruptcy practice group, and Stites & Harbison, PLLC’s Creditors’ Rights & Bankruptcy and Business Litigation practice groups. He returns with a focus on all matters under the creditors’ rights umbrella, including loan modifications, loan workouts, real and personal property foreclosures, loan enforcement litigation, bankruptcies, bankruptcy litigation, and post-judgment enforcement. Levy also represents clients in litigation and arbitration involving a wider array of business and real estate disputes.
“Returning to Morris Manning in this role is truly a once-in-a-career opportunity,” said Levy. “As opposed to being one creditors’ rights and bankruptcy attorney in a sea of many, I’m looking forward to being the driving force within Morris Manning’s Bankruptcy & Restructuring practice and bringing a renewed energy and outlook to this Chambers-ranked group. I’m also looking forward to cross marketing with peers who are industry leaders within some of the firm’s preeminent practices in Atlanta.”
Levy has been consistently recognized as one of The Best Lawyers in America for Commercial Litigation since 2022 and Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights since 2023. He received his undergraduate degree in government/foreign affairs from the University of Virginia and his law degree from William & Mary Law School.
