About Andrew Magdy

Andrew Magdy is a bankruptcy and restructuring attorney whose practice focuses on closely held businesses and their owners facing complex distress and insolvency issues. He holds an LL.M. in Taxation, which informs his restructuring approach where entity structure, timing, and tax consequences materially affect outcomes.

Andrew advises on Chapter 11 and related restructuring matters where litigation posture, creditor dynamics, and tax exposure intersect, particularly for pass-through entities and owner-operated businesses. In addition to traditional insolvency work, he regularly collaborates with accountants, lenders, and other counsel to identify tax risks that can quietly erode value during distress, including depreciation recapture, cancellation-of-debt income, basis erosion, and entity-level liability shifts.

His work emphasizes early-stage structural analysis to avoid reactive decision-making that can trigger unintended and irreversible tax consequences.
