14. On June 29, 2023, the Court granted Genever (US)'s application to retain SDV as special insurance coverage counsel [Docket No. 1963], effective May 11, 2023 (the "Retention Order"). The Retention Order authorizes SDV to be compensated on an hourly bases and reimbursed for actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to sections 328 and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and such order as the Court may direct.
15. By this Application, SDV respectfully requests allowance and payment of fees (in the amount of \$230,840.00 (inclusive of the \$15,000.01 voluntary fee reduction)) and expenses incurred (in the amount of \$5,612.01) for services rendered by, for, and on behalf of Genever (US) during the Fee Period.
16. To date, SDV has not submitted any fee or expense-related applications in these chapter 11 cases.
17. SDV has not received any payment or promise of payment from any source for services rendered during these chapter 11 cases. There is no agreement or understanding between SDV and any other person other than attorneys, employees, and staff of SDV, for the sharing of compensation to be received from services rendered in these chapter 11 cases.
18. SDV's professional services during the Fee Period required an expenditure of 534.20 recorded hours by attorneys and paraprofessionals, broken down as follows: partners (172.00 hours), associates (332.00 hours), and paraprofessionals (37.30 hours). The timekeepers who rendered such services are identified in the Cover Sheet hereto, along with the number of hours and the total compensation sought for each individual.
19. SDV maintains computerized records, in the form of monthly statements, of the time spent by SDV's attorneys and paraprofessionals in connection with its representation of Genever (US). The monthly statements are in the same form regularly used by SDV to bill its clients for services rendered and include the date that the services were rendered, a detailed, contemporaneous narrative description of services provided, the amount of time spent for each service, and the designation of the professional who performed the service. Attached hereto as Exhibit B are true and correct copies of the monthly statements of SDV related to the fees requested herein.
20. The rates SDV charges for services rendered by its professionals and paraprofessionals in these chapter 11 cases are comparable to rates SDV charges for professional and paraprofessional services rendered in comparable non-bankruptcy related matters. In addition,
when SDV's restructuring professionals and paraprofessionals work on non-bankruptcy matters, the firm generally charges their standard rate. Such fees are reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in comparable non-bankruptcy cases in a competitive legal market.
21. The Trustee for Genever (US) has reviewed and approved this Application.
22. SDV has voluntarily reduced the fees it seeks in this Application by \$15,000. This voluntary reduction is made in good faith to avoid duplication of fees incurred by Genever (US) corresponding to substitute counsel becoming familiar with the issues and status of the Adversary Proceeding.
23. SDV respectfully submits that the reasonable value of the services rendered by SDV during the Fee period, inclusive of the \$15,000.01 voluntary fee reduction, is \$230,840.00.
24. During the Fee Period, SDV advised Genever (US) on a regular basis regarding legal matters concerning Genever (US)'s first- and thirty-party insurance, and represented Genever (US) in its insurance coverage for Genever (US)'s March 15, 2023 fire-related losses for the benefit of the chapter 11 estates and their creditors.
25. Specifically, during the Fee Period, SDV provided the following summarized services on behalf of Genever (US):
- advising Genever (US), through the Trustee, on its rights and obligations under its insurance policies; - commencing, conducting, and continuing litigation necessary and appropriate to assert rights held by Genever (US), pursuant to its insurance policies, to protect Genever (US)'s estate; - researching, preparing, and filing on behalf of Genever (US) as necessary and appropriate applications, motions, proposed orders, other pleadings, notices, schedules, and other documents; - analyzing and preparing written discovery and corresponding document productions; - taking and defending depositions; - preparing for and conducting a preliminary injunction hearing on behalf of Genever (US) to halt its insurer from cancelling the subject insurance policies which, in turn, would jeopardize Genever (US)'s interest in the largest asset of its estate; - advising Genever (US), through the Trustee, of evolving litigation activities and coverage events.
26. SDV has organized its time by category in respect to the nature of the services it provided to Genever (US), as follows: A. Case Administration: Fees: \$21,869.50 Total Hours: 51.30
27. SDV performed services to assist Genever (US) in prosecuting coverage litigation via an adversary proceeding [Adv. Proceeding No. 5:23-05007] (the "Adversary Proceeding") against its insurance company, AIG Property Casualty Company ("AIG").
28. In the Adversary Proceeding, this included, among other things, searching for conflicts, responding to inquiries by the Trustee, reviewing schedules and other case filings prior to and after commencing the Adversary Proceeding, and preparing for and attending certain status conferences.
29. Additionally, in the Adversary Proceeding, SDV's services included work on Genever (US)'s petitions and schedules, counseling Genever (US), through the Trustee, with respect to filing the Adversary Proceeding, initial meetings with the Trustee to understand the scope and nature of the issues giving rise to the Adversary Proceeding, and attending to issues with respect to AIG's ongoing insurance investigation for Genever (US)'s March 15, 2023 fire-related losses. B. General Litigation: Fees: \$213,335.50 Total Hours: 467
30. SDV has represented Genever (US) in the Adversary Proceeding to both (1) enjoin AIG from cancelling Genever (US)'s insurance policies, and (2) recover insurance benefits under Genever (US)'s first- and third-party insurance policies for its March 15, 2023, fire-related losses.
31. In the Adversary Proceeding, SDV's general litigation services included, among other things, case initiation, preparation and filing of applications, motions, proposed orders, documents, and other pleadings with the Court, and discovery.
32. Additionally, SDV's services and work have included strategizing and advising Genever (US), through the Trustee, on Genever (US) various rights and remedies pursuant to its first- and third-party insurance. C. Court Hearings: Fees: \$10,635.00 Total Hours: 23
33. During the Fee Period, SDV professionals attended the May 19, 2023 status conference and the July 12, 2023 hearing in the on Genever (US)'s Motion for Preliminary Injunction [See Docket No. 32].
34. Section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for interim compensation of professionals and incorporates the substantive standard of section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code to govern the Court's award of such compensation. Section 330(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that, after notice and a hearing, the Court may award a professional employed under 11 U.S.C. § 327 "reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered" and "reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses." 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(1).3
35. In determining the amount of "reasonable compensation," the Court must consider the nature, extent, and value of the services, taking into account all the relevant factors, including the time spent on such services, the rates charged for such services, whether the services were necessary and beneficial, whether the services were performed in a reasonable amount of time commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the problem, issue, or tasked assigned, and whether the compensation is reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in cases other than cases under the Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3). The Courts enjoy "considerable discretion in determining reasonable fee awards." In re Ahead Commc'n Sys., Inc., 395 B.R. 512 (D. Conn. 2008).
36. In assessing the "reasonableness" of the fees applied, the Second Circuit has stated that courts should consider the factors enumerated in Johnson v. Georgia Highway Express, Inc.,4 while also incorporating the "lodestar method." See Arbor Hill Concerned Citizens Neighborhood Ass'n v. County of Albany & Albany Cty. Bd. of Elections, 522 F.3d 182, 190 (2d Cir. 2007) (citing Johnson v. Ga. Highway Express, Inc., 488 F.2d 714 (5th Cir. 1974), abrogated on other grounds by Blanchard v. Bergeron, 489 U.S. 87, 92-93, 96 (1989)). The "lodestar method" of calculating the reasonable fee contemplates "the number of hours reasonably expended . . .
3 Under section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, with bankruptcy court approval, a trustee may employ professional persons under section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code "on any reasonable terms and conditions of employment, including on a retainer, on an hourly basis, on a fixed or percentage fee basis, or on a contingent fee basis." 11 U.S.C. § 328(a).
4 The twelve (12) Johnson factors are (1) time spent and labor required, (2) the novelty and difficulty of the questions, (3) the skill requisite to perform the legal service provided, (4) the preclusion of other employment by the attorney due to acceptance of the case, (5) the customary fee, (6) whether the fee is fixed or contingent, (7) the time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances, (8) the amount involved and the results obtained, (9) the experience, reputation, and ability of the attorneys, (10) the "undesirability" of the case, (11) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client, and (12) awards in similar cases. Johnson, 488 F.2d at 717-19.
multiplied by a reasonable hourly rate." See Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 433 (1983); Gisbrecht v. Barnhart, 535 U.S. 789, 801 (2002); Perdue v. Kenny A., 130 S.Ct. 1662, 1672 (2010); In re Drexel Burnham Lambert Grp., Inc., 133 B.R. 13 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1991). The factors set forth in Johnson and In re First Colonial Corp. of Am., 544 F.2d 1291, 1298–99 (5th Cir. 1977), have been adopted by most courts.5 See In re Nine Assocs., Inc., 76 B.R. 943, 945 (S.D.N.Y. 1987) (adopting First Colonial/Johnson analysis); In re Cuisine Magazine, Inc., 61 B.R. 210, 212–13 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y 1986) (same); Green v. City of New York, 403 F. Appx. 626, 629 (2d Cir. 2010) (summary order); see generally 3 COLLIER ON BANKRUPTCY ¶ 330.03[9] (Lawrence P. King ed., 16th ed. 2016) (describing First Colonial and Johnson as the "leading cases with regard to the factors to be considered in determining a reasonable allowance of compensation").
37. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code
and applicable case law, the amount requested herein by SDV is fair and reasonable, as set forth
below and otherwise in this Application.
SDV billed a total of \$245,840.00 and 541.30 hours, respectively, of professional and paraprofessional services during the Fee Period. As evidenced in this Application, SDV professionals and paraprofessionals worked diligently and efficiently without unnecessary duplication of efforts throughout the Fee Period. A small group of SDV attorneys was utilized for the vast majority of the work in order to minimize costs of intra-SDV communication and education about Genever (US)'s circumstances. Whenever possible, SDV sought to minimize the cost of SDV's services by utilizing talented junior attorneys and paraprofessionals to manage more routine aspects of the assignment. The services were performed in an effective and efficient manner commensurate with the complexity, exigency, and importance of the issues involved. In addition, SDV's representation has required it to balance the need to provide quality services with the need to act quickly and represent the Genever (US) in an effective, efficient, and timely manner. SDV submits that the hours spent were reasonable given the size and complexity of the Adversary Proceeding, the significant, and often urgent, legal and business issues raised, and the numerous filings and discovery engaged in Adversary Proceeding.
5 The factors articulated in First Colonial were first articulated by the Fifth Circuit in Johnson, with the First Colonial court adding the factors of the "spirit of the economy," which was later rejected by Congress. See Strook & Strook & Lavan v. Hillsborough Holdings Corp. (In re Hillsborough Corp.), 127 F.3d 1398, 1403 (11th Cir. 1997)
SDV tasked knowledgeable attorneys to research, analyze, and advise Genever (US), through the Trustee, on difficult and complex issues during the Fee Period, including issues related to bankruptcy and litigation. Most notably, as detailed in this Application, SDV analyzed Genever (US)'s first- and third-party insurance policies, initiated the Adversary Proceeding, and represented Genever (US) in a preliminary injunction hearing. Skill Requisite to Perform the Legal Services Properly
SDV believes that its recognized expertise in the areas of insurance coverage, and its creative approach to the resolution of issues has contributed to the effective administration of these chapter 11 cases, via the Adversary Proceeding, and benefited the Genever (US), its estate, and unsecured creditors. Due to the nature and complexity of the legal issues presented by the Adversary Proceeding, SDV was required to exhibit a high degree of legal skill in areas related to, among others, coverage litigation.
Preclusion of Other Employment by Applicant Due to Acceptance of the Case Due to SDV's size, SDV's representation of the Genever (US) did not preclude its acceptance of new clients, but the demands for immediate and substantive action in the Adversary Proceeding imposed significant burdens on SDV professionals and paraprofessionals working concurrently on other matters.
The fees charged by SDV in these chapter 11 cases are billed in accordance with its existing billing rates and procedures in effect during the Fee Period. The rates SDV charges for the services rendered by its professionals and paraprofessionals in these chapter 11 cases are comparable to the rates SDV charges for professional and paraprofessional services rendered in comparable non-bankruptcy related matters. Moreover, when SDV's professionals and paraprofessionals work on nonbankruptcy matters, the firm generally charges their standard rate. Such fees are reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in comparable non-bankruptcy cases in a competitive national legal market. In addition, the firm's customary hourly rates and rate structure reflect that related matters typically involve great complexity, numerous tasks requiring a high level of expertise, and severe time pressures, as is the case here.
Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 330 and 331, all fees sought by professionals employed under Bankruptcy Code sections 327(e), 328(a), and 329(a) are subject to final approval by the Court, and are subject to adjustment depending on the services rendered and the results obtained. SDV's fees are fixed, as it was agreed SDV would charge Genever (US) for its legal services on an hourly basis at SDV's standard hourly rates in effect at the time the services were performed in connection with the Adversary Proceeding [See Docket Nos. 1870, 1963]. The Limitations Imposed by the Client or Other Circumstances
During the Fee Period, SDV was required to analyze and address certain issues arising in these chapter 11 cases under compressed timelines. Specifically, SDV was required to act immediately to halt AIG's cancellation of Genever (US)'s insurance, which was originally set to take effect on May 31, 2023. Moreover, SDV was required to act immediacy to pursue coverage under Genever (US)'s insurance policies for Genever (US)'s March 15, 2023 fire-related losses given Genever (US)'s ever-increasing third-party liability to others who have been allegedly harmed by Genever (US)'s March 15, 2023, fire-related losses.
SDV professionals and paraprofessionals worked diligently to maximize value for Genever (US)'s chapter 11 estate. During the Fee Period, and as described in the summary of services herein, SDV was instrumental in analyzing insurance recovery and preservation for the benefit of the estate. As a result of SDV's efforts, Genever (US) received \$25,000 from AIG for emergency clean-up expenses, and AIG has been preliminarily enjoined from cancelling Genever (US)'s insurance policies which, if cancelled, would jeopardize Genever (US)'s interest in the largest asset of its estate. The reasonableness of SDV's fees must be evaluated in light of these important strategic factors as well. Experience, Reputation, and Ability of the Attorneys
SDV has represented policyholders for more than twenty-five (25) years, helping them navigate a vast array of complex coverage issues. SDV is consistently recognized within the insurance industry as a top tier law firm for policyholders. During the Application Period, SDV solicited the skill and expertise of its professionals and paraprofessionals. SDV professionals have actively represented policyholders in complex coverage litigation. SDV's extensive experience enables it to perform the services described herein competently and expeditiously.
As described in this Application, the immediacy and time necessarily devoted to the Adversary Proceeding in the absence of prompt and certain payment for fees and expenses makes the case less desirable than other cases upon which SDV is often engaged. Nature and Length of Professional Relationship
SDV has been providing professional services to Genever (US), through the Trustee since its retention as counsel effective May 11, 2023.
38. SDV respectfully submits that the services for which it seeks compensation in this
Fee Application were, at the time rendered, necessary for and beneficial to Genever (US)'s estate
and its creditors and were rendered to maximize, protect, and preserve the value of Genever (US)'s
estate and all parties in interest. SDV believes that it provided services economically, effectively, and efficiently, and obtained results beneficial to the Debtor's estate and his creditors. SDV further submits that the compensation requested herein is reasonable in light of the nature, extent, and value of the services rendered during the Fee Period.
39. SDV also notes that the rates charged during the Fee Period are reasonable, and comparable to similarly-situated coverage counsel within a competitive legal market.
40. All fees incurred by SDV during the Fee Period were actual, reasonable, and necessary in the performance of services for Genever (US). SDV respectfully requests approval of the compensation sought herein.
41. As set forth in Exhibit C hereto, SDV incurred and disbursed \$5,413.36 as expenses in providing professional services during the Fee Period (exclusive of the period of May 11, 2023 through August 21, 2023). These expenses include approximately \$1,245.23 for online legal research (i.e., Westlaw). Because SDV believes that online research (i.e., Westlaw) is far more cost-effective than manual research using hard-bound volumes, SDV encourages computerized legal research even though it is not a profit center for SDV. To be clear, SDV does not charge a mark-up on the Westlaw charges, but merely passes on the costs of such third-party services. Moreover, as it relates to outside professional services, mailing, and other service-related expenses, SDV is merely passing on the costs of such third-party services, without any mark-up.6
- 42. Additional necessary expenses include: - \$894.30 for deposition transcript services provided by Trustpoint Court Reporting, LLC; - \$350.00 for filing fee;
6 Documentation of these expenses will be made available to the Court upon request.
- \$266.00 for process servicers;
- \$13.00 for court hearing-related parking.
43. During the Fee Period, SDV utilized Everlaw—a third-party vendor that specializes in electronic discovery services including document processing, storage, and distributions—to store documents produced in the Adversary Proceeding, including approximately 375 discovery documents received by Genever (US) to-date in connection with its prosecution of the Adversary Proceeding. SDV has been billed and/or incurred \$20.00 for actual and necessary services rendered by Everlaw in connection with the Adversary Proceeding.
44. Additionally, during the Fee Period, SDV utilized Veritext, LLC—a third-party vendor that specializes in remote deposition services including remote deposition facilitation, recording, and transcription—to facilitate depositions taken on behalf of Genever (US) in the Adversary Proceeding. SDV has been billed and/or incurred \$2,646.18 for actual and necessary services rendered by Veritext in connection with the Adversary Proceeding.
45. The expenses requested herein are customarily charged to non-bankruptcy clients of SDV. Additionally, the expenses incurred by SDV to third parties are limited to the actual amounts billed to, or paid by, SDV on behalf of Genever (US).
46. SDV believes the rates for charges incurred are the market rates that the majority of law firms charge their clients for such services. In addition, SDV believes that such charges are in accordance with the American Bar Association's ("ABA") guidelines, as set forth in the ABA's Statement of Principles, dated January 12, 1995, regarding billing for disbursements and other charges.
47. The expenses incurred in providing professional services in the Adversary
Proceeding were necessary, economical, and justified under the circumstances.
