Andrew Magdy is an experienced bankruptcy and restructuring attorney representing closely held businesses and their owners in complex distress and insolvency matters. He holds an LL.M. in Taxation, which informs his approach to restructuring and distressed-entity planning, particularly where entity structure and tax consequences materially affect outcomes.

Over the course of his career, Andrew has represented thousands of clients in Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13 proceedings, including matters involving contested creditor issues, adversary proceedings, and appeals before the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. This depth of courtroom and procedural experience continues to inform his judgment in higher-stakes restructuring matters.

In addition to traditional restructuring work, Andrew frequently collaborates with accountants, lenders, and other attorneys to identify tax risks that can quietly erode value during business distress. His practice emphasizes early-stage analysis of timing, entity structure, and liability changes that can trigger unintended tax consequences for owners of pass-through businesses.

Andrew has written extensively on these issues, including recent work on tax collapse architecture, which examines how depreciation recapture, cancellation-of-debt income, basis erosion, and related tax dynamics can unintentionally destroy value when distress is handled reactively rather than strategically.
