Rowland, Milton

Since joining Jones Day in early 1999, Ryan Routh has worked exclusively in the Firm's Business Restructuring and Reorganization practice, focusing on corporate bankruptcy, restructuring, and other insolvency-related matters.

Ryan's practice primarily focuses on the representation of debtors in large chapter 11 cases. He has significant experience in chapter 11 debtor representations and has developed particular know-how in claims matters and related litigation. Ryan has most recently been involved as debtor's counsel in the chapter 11 cases of Dana Corporation, NexPak Corporation, LTV Steel Company, and Alderwoods Group (f/k/a Loewen Group International).

In addition, Ryan has experience in the representation of bank groups, unsecured creditors, contract parties, purchasers of assets, and defendants in avoidance actions in some of the nation's largest bankruptcy cases, including those of United Airlines, US Airways, 360networks, and Metricom. In connection with such nondebtor representations, Ryan has represented CIT Group/Business Credit, National City Bank and its affiliates, and Marconi Communications. He also has experience representing clients in out-of-court restructurings and liquidations and in involuntary bankruptcy cases. These representations have made Ryan familiar with virtually all aspects of modern bankruptcy practice.

Ryan was selected as an "Ohio Rising Star" by Law & Politics in 2006 and is a member of the Ohio State Bar Association and the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association.
