He has written on a broad range of topics, including corporate bankruptcy and debt workouts, tracking stock, equity spin-offs, corporate downsizing, bank mergers, and employee buyouts. His current research focuses on techniques for valuing bankrupt and distressed companies, and on strategies for investing in distressed company securities.

Recently a book of his case studies on corporate restructuring was published by John-Wiley & Sons, entitled Creating Value Through Corporate Restructuring: Case Studies in Bankruptcies, Buyouts, and Breakups.
