Robert D. Mercer

Robert M.D. Mercer is a sole practitioner with Mercer Law, LLC in Atlanta, where he focuses his practice on high-dollar bankruptcy and insolvency litigation. In his more than 25 years of practice, he has represented just about every major player in chapter 11 cases, including post-confirmation trustees, creditors’ committees, chapter 11 debtors, indenture trustees, receivers, asset-purchasers, directors and officers, pre-petition lenders and debtor-in-possession lenders. Mr. Mercer has been listed in ChambersUSA’s Guide to America’s Leading Lawyers for Business and as a “Georgia Superlawyer” by Atlanta magazine, and his engagements have included avoidance actions in connection with large leveraged buyouts or corporate governance disputes involving officers and directors for which there is a significant amount of D&O insurance. He often represents fiduciaries asserting significant, insolvency-based claims against large institutions. Unlike many bankruptcy and insolvency practitioners, Mr. Mercer willunder take very select cases on a contingency-fee basis. He received his B.A. in 1993 from the University of Georgia and his J.D. in 1996 from Mercer University Walter F. George School of Law, where he was a member of the Mercer Law Review and a Moot Court Board Gibbons Criminal Law Competition team member.
