William C. Price
William C. Price assists clients in matters involving workout, bankruptcy, insolvency, and commercial litigation. He also provides counsel to clients seeking to acquire assets in distressed situations.
In both transactional and litigation settings, Bill partners with clients to formulate and implement strategies to achieve results identified at the outset and periodically revisited throughout his representations. By marrying a practical and academic approach to each client’s needs, he takes an active role with each client to deliver results that are in line with the client’s expectations—both economically and within the client’s desired timeframe. Typical matters involve workout, bankruptcy, insolvency, and commercial litigation. Additionally, Bill provides general counsel to private equity clients, usually with an investment thesis involving distressed acquisitions or debt funds.

To remain sharp on issues that affect his clientele in the commercial environment, Bill teaches the course Secured Transactions (Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
