David Kupetz, a partner with Troutman Pepper Locke, was quoted in the June 3, 2026 Law360 article, “Bankruptcy Alternative Gaining Steam With Uniform Act.”

  • David S. Kupetz, a partner in the Los Angeles office of Troutman Pepper Locke, told Law360 he is involved in dozens of ABC cases operating under California’s common law doctrine for such proceedings that does not require court supervision, adding that the system is operating with a high level of efficiency.
  • “There’s a very high velocity of new matters,” Kupetz said. “It’s a very active area, and they’re working extremely well.”
  • He said the Uniform Act is a well-intentioned effort to standardize ABCs nationwide, but that in his view, the current system is working well.
  • “I’m not against the Uniform Act, but I also am not experiencing any problems in the ABCs that I’m involved in,” he said.
