Starting with the notice program in the Johns-Manville bankruptcy proceeding in 1986, Kinsella/Novak directed complex notification programs in these major cases. Kinsella/Novak’s expertise in identifying and reaching individuals with asbestos exposure and disease is unmatched. Campaigns have resulted in well over one million people responding to integrated outreach that included unprecedented third-party communication through labor unions, veteran and victim organizations, direct mail, national and spot television, newspapers and consumer publications.

Recent work includes:

  • In re Owens Corning, Chapter 11, 00-03837 (JKF) (D.C. Del.)
    Kinsella/Novak undertook national and international notice in conjunction with the Sixth Amended Plan of Reorganization to advise all parties on voting rights and submission of ballots. Multiple published notices were developed and placed to reach creditors, bond holders and asbestos personal injury claimants in the United States. Globally, notice directed to asbestos property damage and personal injury claimants was placed in 27 languages in 159 newspapers within 57 countries. The global notice provided in this case is one of the most extensive bankruptcy or class action notification campaigns.
