Receivership
The extensive experience of Phillip S. Stenger and his firm in law, accounting, and litigation, as well as the firm’s experience in Claims Administration and Distribution and his unique experience in Caribbean Liquidations, have led to the appointment of Phillip Stenger and other members of the firm as receivership attorneys in various cases. These cases have involved investment fraud, insider trading and international money laundering, as well as Mr. Stenger’s unprecedented appointment on two occasions as a Cayman Islands’ Joint Official Co-Liquidator.
As a result of its administration of numerous SEC receiverships, Stenger & Stenger has developed a team of professionals who are experienced in managing operating businesses, liquidating disgorged assets, bringing necessary litigation, conducting claims administration and verification, and the distribution of disgorgement and other proceeds. We develop case-specific strategies tailored to the particulars of the specific action. The uniquely tailored distribution plans developed by Phil Stenger have been sustained by the courts as meeting requirements of both fairness and due process: see SEC v. Basic Energy & Affiliated Resources, Inc. et al., 273 F.3d 657 (6th Cir. 2001). Recoveries for investors have also been enhanced by commencing and successfully completing significant third party litigation against both domestic and foreign defendants. Stenger & Stenger also employs trained specialists and state-of -the art technology for dealing with the critical area of Investor Communications.
In serving as receiver, liquidator, or administrator, Phillip Stenger has worked closely with governmental agencies world-wide, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (including its Washington, D.C.
