Sabin Willett tries cases, adversary proceedings and contested matters, and argues appeals, largely in disputes concerning corporate insolvency. Practicing typically in the bankruptcy, Delaware Chancery, and federal district courts, he often represents parties to fraudulent transfer, plan valuation, and other complex Chapter 11 disputes.
Before joining Morgan Lewis, Sabin was a partner in the financial restructuring practice at another international law firm. A fellow of the American College of Bankruptcy, he co-leads defense groups in the Tribune and Lyondell fraudulent transfer litigation, led the trial team that mitigated damages in Tronox, and prevailed in the New York Court of Appeals in Quadrant. He also led a pro bono team that won freedom for Uyghur Guantanamo detainees.
