Michael Goldberg, chair of Akerman's Bankruptcy and Reorganization Practice Group, was highlighted among Law360's weekly "Legal Lions" for having reached a $28 million deal to repay Scott Rothstein's Ponzi scheme victims. Goldberg has represented the Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler Liquidating Trust as the responsible party for overseeing all distributions to creditors and handling litigation on behalf of the trust. He has worked with the federal government to release funds seized during the prominent investigation in the $1.2 billion scheme, and has already paid out approximately $135 million.
