In 1991, the firm undertook to represent the Committee of Asbestos Bodily Injury Claimants in the Chapter 11 Case of a former asbestos manufacturer, H.K. Porter Company, Inc. After the mid-1990’s passage of Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the settlement of the precedent-setting, multi-million dollar fraudulent transfer litigation brought by the Committee against the former controlling shareholder and his affiliates, the firm drafted and obtained confirmation of the Committee’s plan of reorganization, which included a Section 524(g) injunction and a well-funded and functional Asbestos Trust for the benefit of asbestos bodily injury claimants. |

The H.K. Porter engagement led to an association as local counsel working with the national law firm of Caplin & Drysdale, Chartered in representing the Committee for Asbestos Bodily Injury Claimants in the Pittsburgh-based reorganizations of Pittsburgh Corning Corporation, North American Refractories, Harbison-Walker, A.P. Green, and Global Industrial Technologies -- as well as in the Delaware-based reorganizations of Owens Corning, Armstrong World Industries, Flintkote, Federal-Mogul, USG Corporation, W.R. Grace, Kaiser Aluminum, and A.C & S, Inc. |

Campbell & Levine has also been engaged as lead counsel to the Committee of Asbestos Bodily Injury Claimants in the bankruptcy cases of Lloyd Mitchell and Porter Hayden Company in Baltimore, and the bankruptcy case of C.E Thurston & Sons in Norfolk. |
