Ice Miller Makes Major Move in Bankruptcy Market, Recruiting a Full Bankruptcy Team from Potter Anderson & Corroon

March 25, 2026

Ice Miller LLP announces the significant lateral team move with the joining of partners Steve McNeill and Aaron H. Stulman, along with associates Andrew C. Ehrmann, Sarah R. Gladieux, and Maria Kotsiras from Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP to its Wilmington, Delaware office. This move significantly expands and solidifies the firm's Bankruptcy & Restructuring practice at a national level and deepens its presence in one of the most active restructuring jurisdictions in the country.

These additions build on Ice Miller's strategic expansion into Delaware with partner Christopher Samis earlier this year, making the office a key hub for the firm's national bankruptcy and restructuring platform. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware remains a top-tier venue for major corporate Chapter 11 filings in the United States, and this growing team positions Ice Miller to serve clients with unmatched local depth and national reach.

"We are experiencing tremendous momentum across the firm, and these additions to our Delaware office reflect our commitment to building a best-in-class team in one of the most important legal markets in the country," said Joshua L. Christie, Ice Miller's chief managing partner. "Steve, Aaron, Andrew, Sarah, and Maria each bring exceptional skills, deep Delaware market knowledge, and a client-first approach that aligns perfectly with our culture and our vision for growth. This is a transformative moment for our Delaware office and for our clients."

Steve McNeill joins Ice Miller as a partner in the Bankruptcy & Restructuring Group. With nearly two decades of experience, McNeill focuses his practice on complex bankruptcy proceedings for national and regional clients, representing debtors, secured lenders, creditors' committees, and unsecured creditors in high-stakes Chapter 11 matters. He has been involved in contesting and defending asset sales, plans of reorganization, assumption and rejection of leases and contracts, and preference litigation. McNeill is recognized by Chambers USA and listed in The Best Lawyers in America® for Litigation – Bankruptcy.

"Ice Miller is building something special in Delaware, and I'm proud to be part of taking it to the next level," said McNeill. "The firm's platform, its people, and its commitment to clients made joining an easy decision. I look forward to contributing to the growth of both the team and the office and to delivering exceptional results for clients in this market."

Aaron Stulman joins as a partner in the Bankruptcy & Restructuring Group, bringing more than a decade of experience counseling clients through complex insolvency matters both in and out of court. Stulman regularly represents debtors, official and ad hoc committees, secured lenders, liquidation trusts, asset purchasers, and other key stakeholders in Chapter 11, Chapter 7, and Chapter 15 proceedings before the Delaware Bankruptcy Court. He also has extensive experience litigating avoidance actions under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code. Chambers USA has recognized Stulman as "Up and Coming," with market sources noting he is "detail-oriented, collaborative and very commercial" with "sophisticated expertise in Delaware." Stulman is listed in The Best Lawyers in America® and has been named a "Top Lawyer" by Delaware Today.

"Joining Ice Miller gives me the opportunity to serve my clients on a broader, more powerful platform," said Stulman. "The firm's leadership is thoughtful and growth-oriented, and the Delaware team we're building here is exactly the kind of practice and culture I want to be part of."

"We're thrilled to welcome this outstanding group of attorneys to Ice Miller," said Louis T. DeLucia, chair of Ice Miller's Bankruptcy & Restructuring Group. "Steve and Aaron are recognized leaders in Delaware bankruptcy, and Andrew, Sarah, and Maria bring the kind of talent and dedication that will make our Delaware office a go-to destination for clients navigating complex restructurings. This team is a great fit for where we are headed."
