Andrew J. Glasnovich

Drew works as counsel to creditors' committees in mass-tort bankruptcy proceedings across the country. As part of Stinson's Survivor Protection Practice, Drew serves as the tip of the spear advocating for the interests of survivors of sexual abuse, litigating complex bankruptcy issues in diocesan chapter 11 cases. Drew managed litigation successfully preventing an archdiocese from claiming immunity from survivors' claims in bankruptcy, and has also obtained a favorable verdict at a federal bench trial, bringing more than $50 million in assets into the bankruptcy estate for distribution to survivors. He argued for and obtained a ground-breaking decision allowing survivors to speak out in bankruptcy court and share how sexual abuse has impacted their lives and their journey to healing. He confronts diocesan insurance carriers holding them accountable for their conduct during diocesan bankruptcy cases. On behalf of survivors, Drew won a decision granting his client standing to sue the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for allegedly fraudulent transfers it received from a bankrupt diocese.

Drew has also developed a pro bono practice which focuses on advising residential tenants on their rights and remedies in eviction and other housing related litigation. Among his recent successes, he obtained approval of a class-action settlement on behalf of thousands of Minnesota tenants, eliminating their rental debts, reimbursing them for improper lease charges, and remedying improper leasing conduct by their landlords. As part of his pro bono practice, Drew has regular court appearances and recently obtained favorable results for his client at a bench trial in Hennepin County Housing Court.

He has also assisted financial institutions with navigating disputes as part of complex agricultural and transportation company liquidations in the United States Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. Drew has defended his secured lender clients, obtaining relief from the automatic stay in Minnesota and across the country; negotiated adequate protection stipulations, debtor in possession financing, and conditions of use of cash collateral; drafted plan treatment for secured and unsecured creditors; and recovered collateral through replevin actions.

Drew has also represented receivers, bankruptcy trustees, assignees, and similar fiduciaries in wind-downs, asset sales, claim objections, and adversary litigation.  As lead counsel to a chapter 11 trustee, he obtained court approval of multiple asset sales, litigated fraudulent transfer claims against the debtor's equity owners, and drafted and obtained confirmation of a liquidating plan that ultimately brought an 80% return to unsecured creditors.

Drew chairs the Minneapolis office's summer associate recruiting committee and is the former chair of the firm's LGBTQ Employee Resource Group.
