Rachel Strickland, partner and Chair of Willkie’s Business Reorganization & Restructuring Department, appeared on CNN last week to discuss the recent dismissal of Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case and what it means for Willkie’s clients Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman. On July 12, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane dismissed Giuliani’s bankruptcy protection case, clearing the way for Shaye and Ruby to start collecting the money that is owed to them. 
 
In an interview with Kaitlan Collins on CNN’s The Source, Rachel discussed the details of the court proceedings and the Willkie team’s intentions to immediately pursue Giuliani’s assets on behalf of Shaye and Ruby. 
 
Last December, in a landmark defamation suit, the Willkie pro bono team secured $148.1 million in damages for the harm Rudy Giuliani caused by spreading lies that they had intentionally undermined the results of the 2020 presidential election. Shortly after the judgment, Giuliani filed for bankruptcy with $10.6 million in reported assets.
