EXPERIENCE Frank P. Terzo is the Chair of GrayRobinson's Bankruptcy & Creditors' Rights practice group. His practice is devoted to a wide range of insolvency matters, including representation of corporate and consumer clients in complex workouts, bankruptcies, assignment for the benefit of creditors, and receiverships. He has also represented creditor's committees and Chapter 11 and 7 trustees. In addition, his practice encompasses both the prosecution and defense of all forms of complex bankruptcy litigation including preference, fraudulent transfers and complex contested matters. Prior to practicing law, Frank spent eighteen years in the healthcare industry, successfully starting up, managing and operating various public companies. He filed his first Chapter 11 just six weeks after his admission to the Florida Bar and successfully reorganized the largest minority plumbing contractor in Miami-Dade County.
