Davis Polk partner Elliot Moskowitz was featured in Financier Worldwide’s September 2026 issue discussing special committee investigations in bankruptcy proceedings. In the Q&A, Elliot examined stakeholder expectations around accountability and transparency in the insolvency process, how the growing use of independent special committees has altered stakeholder confidence in chapter 11 investigations, challenges in investigating pre-petition transactions involving senior management and insiders, what distinguishes an effective special committee investigation, and how committees should balance transparency with privilege and confidentiality.

“In general, major bankruptcy cases have become more litigious, and some parties in interest are fully prepared to commence litigation if they do not receive the level of transparency and disclosure to which they are legally entitled,” Elliot explained.
