Faye C. Rasch is a partner at Wenokur Riordan PLLC and focuses her practice on representing debtors in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. She advises businesses through each stage of the reorganization process, helping them address immediate liquidity pressures, stabilize operations, evaluate restructuring options, and develop a workable path forward. Her M.B.A. in Finance allows her to pair legal strategy with a practical understanding of cash flow, financing, and business operations.

Faye has served as general counsel to Chapter 11 debtors, developing business and reorganization strategies and coordinating the legal, financial, and operational components of their cases. She also represents debtors in Chapter 7 cases and advises clients on out-of-court restructurings, business workouts, financing strategies, contract disputes, and complex tax matters. Her experience negotiating with federal and state agencies includes matters involving the Internal Revenue Service, the California Franchise Tax Board, the California Department of Corporations, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Her broader insolvency and litigation experience gives her insight into the competing interests that drive a restructuring. Faye has represented bankruptcy trustees, creditors' committees, secured and unsecured creditors, receivers, and asset purchasers, and has litigated fraudulent transfer and preference actions, lien avoidance proceedings, contested bankruptcy matters, and commercial disputes through trial and appeal. Earlier in her career, she represented institutional lenders, restructured loans through modification and forbearance agreements, documented construction loans and guaranties, and practiced commercial, lender liability, and real estate litigation in New York and California.

Before joining Wenokur Riordan in 2019 and becoming a partner in 2022, Faye maintained her own insolvency and business litigation practice in California.

She is admitted to practice in Washington, California, New York, and New Jersey. Faye earned her B.A. from New York University, her J.D. from Fordham University School of Law, where she was an Associate Editor of the Journal of Corporate & Financial Law, and her M.B.A. in Finance from Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business. She is fluent in Hebrew and has competed in cycling events, half-Ironman triathlons, and marathons.
