Aaron H. Stulman is a partner in Ice Miller’s Bankruptcy & Restructuring practice group. For more than a decade, Aaron has advised clients across industries on complex restructurings and bankruptcies, guiding them through distressed situations in ways that protect value, reduce uncertainty, and position them for stronger long‑term outcomes. He regularly represents debtors, official and ad hoc committees, secured lenders, liquidation trusts, asset purchasers, individual creditors and other significant stakeholders in Chapter 11, Chapter 7, and Chapter 15 bankruptcy proceedings before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. He also has extensive experience litigating in bankruptcy court, including prosecuting, defending, and mediating avoidance actions under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Clients value Aaron for his ability to combine his technical bankruptcy experience with a pragmatic, business minded approach. As noted by recent market sources in Chambers USA, “Aaron is sophisticated and experienced in how the bankruptcy process and the court's actions unfold” and “He has a deep understanding of Delaware-specific issues and is business-minded.”

Aaron collaborates with co–counsel, company boards, independent directors and special committees, general counsel, chief restructuring officers, financial advisors and other restructuring professionals to chart the optimal path through the bankruptcy process. Aaron views his role as helping clients achieve the best possible outcome from a difficult situation, often achieving positive outcomes that prove to be strategically advantageous over the long term.
