Levene Neale Bender Rankin & Brill, L.L.P.

What Levene Neale Bender Rankin & Brill, L.L.P. does

Levene Neale Bender Yoo & Golubchik, LLP (LNBY&G), operating under the legal name Levene Neale Bender Rankin & Brill, L.L.P. until its recent rebrand, is a boutique insolvency and restructuring law firm headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The firm concentrates on six closely related practice areas: bankruptcy, assignments for the benefit of creditors, commercial law, debtor-creditor matters, corporate restructurings and out-of-court workouts, and commercial litigation. Its client base consists of corporate debtors, creditors, trustees, and other parties involved in complex financial distress situations requiring both litigation and transactional restructuring expertise. The firm is led by founding partners Ron Bender and David L. Neale and fields 27 attorneys across Partner, Senior Counsel, and Associate levels.

The firm generates revenue through professional legal fees, structured on a matter-by-matter basis using the billing conventions typical of large restructuring engagements — primarily hourly fees calibrated to attorney seniority and matter complexity, with the potential for flat or contingency arrangements depending on engagement type. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by matter. The go-to-market motion is partner-led and reputation-driven: the firm pursues large, complex engagements for enterprise-scale clients and financial institutions through direct engagement and professional referrals, deliberately operating as a 'premier' boutique that retains the capacity to handle major matters while preserving personalized, individually designed representation. Geographic distribution is single-office and regional (Los Angeles), with no disclosed satellite offices, international affiliations, or expansion plans. Marketing is limited to a professional website (lnbyg.com), a LinkedIn company profile, and a News & Resources section — channels consistent with a relationship-driven, referral-based professional services practice rather than a consumer- or volume-led business.
