He brings a courtroom-honed approach to complex insolvency matters and corporate restructuring. His style is direct; he aims to simplify knotty financial issues for clients and colleagues.
Waxman earned his J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1998. He entered practice soon after and built a practice that crosses state lines.

He has experience working on matters for creditors and debtors, and is accustomed to cases that require coordination among counsel in multiple forums. He approaches each matter with an eye to practical outcomes and courtroom realities.
