Founding Partner

Leader, Restructuring & Insolvency Service Group

​

Adam Rome is a founding partner of Greiman, Rome & Griesmeyer, LLC and leads the firm’s Restructuring & Insolvency Service Group. Adam concentrates his practice on representing commercial banks (local, regional, and national), private equity funds, hedge funds, and other institutional creditors in high-stakes enforcement, restructuring, and litigation matters.

​

Adam regularly represents creditors in state courts, federal courts, and bankruptcy courts nationwide, with a consistent focus on maximizing recoveries while controlling legal spend. His practice spans loan enforcement, workouts, receiverships, foreclosures, UCC sales, fraudulent transfer litigation, partnership and ownership disputes, and complex business torts. Adam is frequently retained when matters are distressed, time-sensitive, or procedurally complex.

​

In addition to representing lending institutions, Adam routinely represents court-appointed receivers, advising on asset preservation, priority disputes, receiver’s certificates, sales, and contested proceedings involving competing lienholders and equity stakeholders. He is regularly involved in matters where receivership, foreclosure, and bankruptcy issues intersect.

​

Adam has extensive courtroom experience and has tried cases before juries, arbitrators, and state and federal judges. He has successfully prosecuted and defended matters involving temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, contested asset sales, lender liability claims, partnership dissolutions, and sophisticated fraud schemes, including large-scale phishing and financial fraud matters resulting in successful verdicts and recoveries.

​

Adam’s insolvency and restructuring experience includes representing secured creditors in contested bankruptcy adversary proceedings, defending and prosecuting fraudulent transfer actions, piercing corporate veils to obtain personal liability judgments, and enforcing creditor rights against insiders, affiliates, and successor entities. He has also represented trust beneficiaries and institutions in recovering millions of dollars misappropriated through fraud and misconduct.

​

Before founding Greiman, Rome & Griesmeyer, Adam practiced at Dykema Gossett and Levenfeld Pearlstein, where he represented businesses in complex commercial litigation, non-compete disputes, and financial services matters in state and federal courts.
