Bernstein-Burkley’s Bankruptcy Team has Been Selected to Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of South Hills Operations, LLC for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

An Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (“Committee”) is essential to protecting the unsecured creditors’ claims and interests throughout the bankruptcy process. The Committee often plays a significant role in how the case progresses and the ultimate distribution to creditors. That’s why Bernstein Burkley is proud to have been selected and appointed as Counsel to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of South Hills Operations, LLC, et. al. (Case No. 24-21217-CMB). The five-member committee consists of Med Plus Staffing LLC, ShiftMed, LLC, Alixa Rx LLC, Care Connection Nursing, and All American Healthcare Services, Inc.

On May 17, 2024, South Hills Operations, LLC (“South Hills”), along with twenty-one (21) affiliates sharing substantially similar common ownership (together the “Debtors”), sought Chapter 11 protection in the bankruptcy court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The cases have been jointly administered, with South Hills serving as the lead case. Thirteen (13) Debtors (the “OpCo Debtors”) operate skilled nursing facilities located in Western Pennsylvania. Nine (9) of Debtors own the real property (the “PropCo Debtors”) and substantially all assets leased to the OpCo Debtors.

In our long history, Bernstein-Burkley has put millions of dollars into the hands of creditors who face the daunting task of navigating a customer’s bankruptcy.  We look forward to advocating and obtaining the best possible result.

Bernstein-Burkley Partners Kerri Sturm and Stuart Gaul Recent Win – Persuade the Federal Trial Court in Pittsburgh to Dismiss Fraud Claims Against Clients Over the Sale of Their Interests In A Privately Held Corporation.

By: Stuart C. Gaul, Jr. 

Looking to Delaware law and the anti-reliance and integration provisions of a merger agreement, Bernstein-Burkley partners Kerri Sturm and Stuart Gaul persuaded the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania to dismiss claims against our clients, who were minority shareholders in the non-surviving merger partner.  The purchaser tried to assert that our clients were liable for fraud and fraud in the inducement because of representations and warranties that the company had made in the agreement.  The court agreed with us that the express language of the agreement meant that the warranties weren’t from the shareholders and that the claimant couldn’t assert that it had relied on any statements outside the agreement.  It also agreed that the outcome would have been the same under either Pennsylvania or Delaware law.  The decision is reported in Milhollan v. Live Ventures Inc., 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 65772, 2024 WL 1556923 (Apr. 10, 2024).

ABOUT BERNSTEIN-BURKLEY, P.C. 

Bernstein-Burkley recognizes the significant impact litigation can have on our clients’ ability to carry out their business and/or personal objectives. While our litigators are trial-ready, we also frequently resolve commercial litigation in lieu of trial. When we settle cases instead of going to trial, we resolve those matters on the most advantageous terms possible for our clients.
