Bracewell LLP

David Ball splits his practice primarily between bankruptcy/restructuring and intellectual property. He has experience representing both debtors and creditors in complex bankruptcy proceedings, with an emphasis on handling contested matters, and representing both plaintiffs and defendants in patent and trademark infringement matters. David’s understanding of complex products, varied industries, and financial analysis lends itself to both practice areas. He is routinely called upon to quickly understand different industries and the economics of clients’ businesses to work with financial advisors and expert witnesses. David has experience in Chapter 11, Chapter 15 and Chapter 9 bankruptcy matters, and has litigated numerous Chapter 11 matters – most recently Alta Mesa, MDC Texas Energy, ENXP, Optim Energy and Ahern Rentals – before the bankruptcy courts and federal appeals courts.
