Legal Teams and Shutdown Delays
The U.S. Trustee’s Office is represented internally by Daniel Rudewicz and Tara Tiantian, though spokespersons were unavailable due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
Azul is represented by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, with a team led by Timothy Graulich, Joshua Y. Sturm, Jarret Erickson, Stephen D. Piraino, and Richard J. Steinberg, alongside Togut Segal & Segal LLP partners Frank A. Oswald, Martha E. Martir, and Christian Ribeiro.
As the dispute heads toward the next hearing, Azul’s future in Chapter 11 may hinge on whether the court views its plan as a legitimate rescue strategy or a legally flawed gamble.
