George Marcus's Email & Phone

George J Marcus George is the senior member of the firm. As shown in the picture, he spends a lot of time dropping in on other members of the firm. This is not because he does not have enough to do. George works with each lawyer in the firm to make sure that its clients' needs are timely met, and that clients are served with the hallmark traits of the firm: expertise, common sense, and economy. George is well known throughout the northeast, and is widely recognized as the "go to" lawyer in Maine for difficult corporate and commercial situations. George has handled such diverse matters as representing a publicly held, Maine based, debtor in Chapter 11 proceedings in the District of Maine, representing Chapter 11 debtors who were integrated, state of the art, pulp and paper manufacturers, reorganizing and restructuring the ownership interests in a nuclear power facility, structuring the out-of-court liquidation of one of Maine's largest real estate companies, and, recently, representing Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company in the Delaware based Chapter 11 proceedings of Stone & Webster, Inc., regarding a $250,000,000 decommissioning contract between Maine Yankee and Stone & Webster. In the mid-1990's, George served as counsel to the Creditors' Committee in one of the then-largest Chapter 11 cases in the country, Cajun Electric Power Cooperative, Inc., in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This year, the Maine Bankruptcy Court awarded George and the firm an accomplishment bonus for their work as counsel for the Creditors? Committee in the Jackson Brook Institute Chapter 11 case. The Court recognized the firm's extraordinary role in achieving a 100% dividend for creditors in a highly troubled case. Today, George is involved on behalf of diverse interests in a number of substantial bankruptcy cases pending in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, the District of Delaware and elsewhere, and serves as national bankruptcy counsel for a publicly held company headquartered in Maine. George is a 1976 graduate of the University of Chicago Law School, a fellow of the American College of Bankruptcy, is rated "AV" by Martindale Hubbell, and has been listed in every edition of Best Lawyers in America. In February of 2005, Chambers and Partners, a prestigious London firm that publishes global legal guides, announced that it would include George as a Leader in [His] Field in their new Bankruptcy Guide.
