Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code contains provisions that allow some pre-bankruptcy transfers to be avoided, or "unwound," by a debtor in possession, trustee, or other party granted standing to do so. Among the types of transfers that may be avoided are fraudulent transfers, which arise when a bankrupt debtor previously transferred assets to another party while insolvent and for less than reasonably equivalent value.

Stewart Spielman became a member of The American Board of Certification in March 2016. When asked why he sought board certification, Stewart answered "I saw it as an opportunity to independently confirm my business bankruptcy expertise to clients and others in the firm. In addition, it allows me to more meaningfully compete for significant representations across a broader geographic region."
