Richard Trenk Named to 2026 Lawdragon 500 Leading Global Bankruptcy & Restructuring Lawyers

Trenk Isabel Siddiqi & Shahdanian P.C. is pleased to announce that Richard Trenk, co-founding director of Trenk Isabel Siddiqi & Shahdanian P.C. and chair of the firm’s Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructuring practice, has been named to the 2026 Lawdragon 500 Leading Global Bankruptcy & Restructuring Lawyers.

Trenk has litigated hundreds of bankruptcy and business reorganization cases to successful outcomes. He recently tried to conclusion bid litigation involving more than $100 million, and has handled Chapter 11 real estate, manufacturing, and retail cases involving more than $500 million in value. Trenk is often called upon as an expert witness in bankruptcy-related matters. As a co-founder of the Bankruptcy Inn of Court for the District of New Jersey, he has promoted legal excellence, civility, professionalism, ethics, and specifically the application of these ideals to the Bankruptcy Bar of the District of New Jersey.

Lawdragon notes that “in a world gone mad, these are the advisors who can keep their cool for companies, investors, governments and others on the fiscal precipice. Once a practice that seemed more black and white – you’re solvent or you’re not – this burgeoning group of specialists reflects the reality of the modern economy, in which few corporate entities truly go bust. Instead, they are re-leveraged, managed as special situations, sold as a distressed transaction, and – if all else fails – may truly become bankrupt.” Methodology for selection to this list is available at Lawdragon.
