Glenn Agre Bergman & Fuentes LLP announced today that Agustina Berro has been promoted to partner, effective January 1, 2025.
“As one of Glenn Agre’s first lateral associates, it has been a privilege to witness Agustina’s remarkable growth into both a vital member of our team and an exceptionally skilled bankruptcy lawyer,” said Andrew Glenn, Managing Partner of Glenn Agre. “I am now honored to welcome Agustina as our partner and look forward to supporting her as she embarks on the next exciting chapter of her career.”
Agustina’s practice focuses on bankruptcy and restructuring, representing both debtors and creditors in large, complex Chapter 11 cases, out of court restructurings, and bankruptcy litigation disputes. She also has extensive experience counseling clients in a wide range of transactions involving indentures and other debt instruments.
Most recently, Agustina was a member of the Glenn Agre team serving as the lead counsel representing global investment management firm Invesco in the Chapter 11 case of Robertshaw, an appliance-parts producer. During the trial, which was closely watched by the industry, Agustina was part of a team that took the testimony of 14 witnesses. Following the 6-day trial, the Bankruptcy Court held that Robertshaw breached the debt agreement and awarded Invesco more than $50 million in money damages and attorneys’ fees.
Among other matters, Agustina played a key role in the representation of Transformative Healthcare in an article 9 foreclosure; an ad hoc group of non-RSA secured lenders in the Chapter 11 cases of Cineworld Group PLC; an ad hoc committee of bondholders in the Chapter 11 cases of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.; and Obra Capital, Inc. in an article 9 foreclosure and related litigation against 777 Partners LLC and certain of its affiliates to collect the resulting deficiency.
She received her J.D. from New York University School of Law where she was a Richard G. Ketchum and Dean’s Award Scholar, and her B.A. from Yale University.
