Gray Reed is proud to announce that Jason Brookner has been named in Lawdragon's 2025 500 Leading Global Bankruptcy & Restructuring Lawyers, a listing of distinguished lawyers whose practice focuses on financial restructuring and bankruptcy law. He has been previously recognized in Lawdragon’s Global ranking in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

According to Lawdragon, the attorneys recognized are those who "get the Mayday call when companies and other major entities face crises that imperil their existence. Whether massive fraud, market changes, mismanagement, or competition, it’s survival of the fittest and these are the lawyers who help organizations move forward."

Leader of Gray Reed's Corporate Restructuring and Bankruptcy Practice Group, Brookner focuses his practice on advising debtors, buyers, creditors, trustees, committees, lenders and other constituents in all aspects of distressed, insolvency and restructuring scenarios. Known for his practical and diligent approach to solving challenging problems, he has obtained successful outcomes in complex cases in many industries, ranging from oil and gas, manufacturing, distribution and healthcare to poultry and meat processing, metals trading and restaurants (including fast casual and quick-service). In addition to Lawdragon, Brookner has been annually recognized as one of the leading bankruptcy/restructuring lawyers in Texas by Chambers & Partners USA since 2005 and was also recognized for his important role in the Life Partners Holdings, Inc. case, which was named the 2017 "Turnaround of the Year" in the large company category by the Turnaround Management Association.
