Uzzi O. Raanan

Uzzi Raanan, a partner in Greenberg Glusker’s Bankruptcy, Reorganization & Capital Recovery Group, is slated to speak on the "From Receivership to Bankruptcy: Why Some Bars Hold and Others Collapse" panel during the California Receivers Forum Loyola XI on Friday, January 30, 2026.

This panel will discuss how courts handle bar or release orders in two contexts: the Ninth Circuit’s Gina Champion-Cain SEC receivership, where bar orders were upheld as necessary and fair to protect the receivership estate and settle investor claims vs. the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy, where the Supreme Court struck down non-consensual third-party releases shielding the Sackler family. 

Uzzi has extensive experience representing creditors and debtors and Chapter 11 creditor committees as well as court-appointed receivers and bankruptcy trustees with regard to insolvencies, business bankruptcy preplanning and litigation, state and federal court receiverships, and commercial law disputes, including loan guaranties and assignments of ownership interests.
