BACKGROUND I. Chapter 11 Cases
#

5. On October 12, 2020, Genever (US) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "SDNY Bankruptcy Court"), thereby commencing case number 20-12411 (JLG). See Chapter 11 Petition [Docket No. 1 in Case No. 22-50592 (JAM)].

#

6. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in Genever (US)'s case.

#

7. On February 15, 2022 (the "Petition Date"), Ho Wan Kwok (the "Individual

#

Debtor") filed a voluntary petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (Bridgeport Division) (the "Court").

#

8. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee") in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case. No examiner has been appointed in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case.

#

9. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Docket No. 465] (the "Trustee Order") directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case.

#

10. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as trustee (the "Trustee") in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case

#

11. On November 3, 2022, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court entered an order transferring the venue of Genever (US)'s chapter 11 case to this Court. *See Memorandum Decision and Order Granting the Joint Motion of (A) Genever Holdings LLC and (B) Luc A. Despins as Chapter 11 Trustee for Estate of Ho Wan Kwok to Transfer, Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408, and 1412 and Bankruptcy Rule 1014(a), Venue of Chapter 11 Case of Genever Holdings LLC to Bankruptcy Court for District of Connecticut* [Docket No. 225 in Case No. 22-50592 (JAM)].

#

12. The chapter 11 cases of the Individual Debtor, Genever (US), and Genever Holdings Corporation ("Genever (BVI)") are being jointly administered before this Court for procedural purposes only. See Docket No. 1141 in Case No. 22-50073 (JAM).

#

13. By order entered August 22, 2023, the Court authorized OMJB's retention as special insurance coverage counsel to Genever (US) [Docket No. 2105] (the "Retention Order") effective as of July 27, 2023 in Genever (US)'s chapter 11 case. The Retention Order authorizes OMJB to be compensated on an hourly basis and reimbursed for actual and necessary out-ofpocket expenses pursuant to sections 328 and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and such orders as the Court may direct.

#
II. Monthly Fee Statements
#

14. On August 18, 2023, the Court entered the Interim Compensation Procedures Order, which, among other things, approves procedures for the payment of 80% of fees and 100% of expenses on a monthly basis.

#

15. In accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order, on October 20, 2023, OMJB filed and served its first monthly fee statement [Docket No. 2271] (the "August Fee Statement") requesting payment of 80% of all fees and 100% of all expenses actually and necessarily incurred for services rendered during the period from July 27, 2023 through August

#

31, 2023, in the amounts of \$78,500.00 (80% of \$98,125.00) and \$1,748.56, respectively. No objections were filed in response to the August Fee Statement. However, after discussions with the United States Trustee, OMJB agreed to reduce its fees by \$1,105.00, which (after taking into account that OMJB sought payment of only 80% of its fees) translates into a reduction of \$884.00 (or \$77,616.00 in fees to be paid). Accordingly, the estate has paid OMJB \$79,364.56 for fees and expenses with respect to the August Fee Statement.

#

16. Also on October 20, 2023, OMJB filed and served its second monthly fee statement [Docket No. 2272] (the "September Fee Statement") requesting payment of 80% of all fees and 100% of all expenses actually and necessarily incurred for services rendered during the period from September 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, in the amounts of \$27,360.00 (80% of \$34,200) and \$1,174.76, respectively. No objections were filed in response to the September Fee Statement. Accordingly, the estate has paid OMJB \$28,543.76 for fees and expenses with respect to the September Fee Statement.

#

17. On November 20, 2023, OMJB filed and served a monthly fee statement [Docket No. 2355] (the "October Fee Statement") requesting payment of 80% of all fees and 100% of all expenses actually and necessarily incurred for services rendered during the period from October 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, in the amounts of \$19,742.00 (80% of 24,677.50) and \$321.45, respectively. No objections were filed in response to the October Fee Statement. Accordingly, the estate has paid OMJB \$20,063.45 for fees and expenses with respect to the October Fee Statement.

#

18. On December 20, 2023, OMJB filed and served a monthly fee statement [Docket No. 2459] (the "November Fee Statement") requesting payment of 80% of all fees and 100% of all expenses actually and necessarily incurred for services rendered during the period from

#

November 1, 2023 through November 30, 2023, in the amounts of \$23,708.00 (80% of \$29,635.00) and \$1,614.41, respectively. No objections were filed in response to the November Fee Statement. Accordingly, the estate has paid \$25,322.41 for fees and expenses with respect to the November Fee Statement.

#

19. On January 19, 2024, OMJB filed and served a monthly fee statement [Docket No. 2511] (the "December Fee Statement" and, together with the August Fee Statement, the September Fee Statement, the October Fee Statement, and the November Fee Statement, the "Monthly Fee Statements") requesting payment of 80% of all fees and 100% of all expenses actually and necessarily incurred for services rendered during the period from December 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, in the amounts of \$4,958.00 (80% of \$6,197.50) and \$380.84, respectively. No objections were filed in response to the December Fee Statement. Accordingly, the estate has paid OMJB \$5,338.84 for fees and expenses with respect to the December Fee Statement.

#
ALLOWANCE REQUEST
#

20. The Applicant is applying for compensation pursuant to Sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code for legal services performed for Genever (US) during the Application Period.

#

21. For the Application Period, the Applicant seeks allowance of \$191,730.00 as compensation for services rendered and allowance and reimbursement of \$5,240.02 in expenses incurred in connection with such services.3 The Applicant devoted 539.2 hours to this case during the Application Period, equating to an overall blended rate of \$355.58.

#

3 For the avoidance of doubt, these fees and expenses sought reflected the reductions agreed upon with the United States Trustee.

#

22. As noted, OMJB has already received payment of \$154,623.50 of the fees incurred during the Application Period and \$5,240.02 of the expenses incurred during the Application Period, such that OMJB is only seeking payment the remaining 20% of its fees incurred during the Application Period, namely \$38,346.00.

#

23. Throughout the Application Period, the Applicant maintained records to indicate the name of each professional working on this matter, the time spent on a particular issue, and the nature of the work performed. These records, which describe in detail the services rendered by the Applicant, were created at the approximate time the services were performed.

#

24. Annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit D is a detailed billing report, upon which this application is based that contains each individual professional's time for Genever (US)'s bankruptcy proceedings, itemizing the dates upon which services were rendered, including a summary of the services on each of such dates by each person rendering the service, the time spent in rendering such service, and the dollar value of such services. The time detail attached hereto as Exhibit D include certain redactions to protect against the disclosure of privileged or confidential information.

#
Summary of Services Rendered
#

25. OMJB replaced Saxe Doernberger & Vita, P.C. ("SDV") as special insurance coverage counsel for Genever (US) in its pending litigation against American International Group, Inc. ("AIG") under Adv. Proc. No. 23-5007 (the "AIG Action"), and since OMJB's retention continued the representation of Genever (US) with respect to insurance coverage advice and litigation services to recover insurance benefits claimed to be due to Genever (US) for losses it sustained as well as to any matters related to the AIG Action.

#

26. OMJB has worked closely with Genever (US) to continue its prosecution of the AIG Action, reviewing documents and pleadings to get up to speed with the case. OMJB has also performed extensive legal research and drafted research memos in connection with issues in the case, as well as opposing an appeal by AIG of the preliminary injunction entered on July 13, 2023.

#

27. Most significantly, OMJB drafted and filed a motion for partial summary judgment in the AIG Action, seeking an order from the Court: (i) declaring that AIG must provide property insurance coverage to Genever (US) under homeowner insurance policy no. PCG 0061821440 for its losses arising from a fire that occurred on March 15, 2023 and (ii) awarding Genever (US) property coverage under its homeowner insurance policy no. PCG 0061821440 issued for the period March 6, 2023 to March 6, 2024 for its fire property losses. That motion has been fully briefed, with a hearing having been held, and is pending before the Court.

#

28. Additionally, OMJB also drafted and filed a brief regarding AIG's obligation to reinstate a policy of excess insurance in accordance with this Court's Memorandum of Decision and Order Granting Motion for Preliminary Injunction in the AIG Action.

#

29. OMJB has also engaged in written discovery, issuing third party subpoenas, responding to written discovery requests and reviewing responses to written requests and documents produced through discovery.

#

30. The work undertaken by OMJB to date has been significant, involving legal research and motion practice, factual analysis and investigations, analysis of legal contracts and discovery documents, correspondence, and strategic input. This work remains ongoing, with additional work expected in due course.

#
Prior Application
#

31. No prior application for the relief requested has been made. However, as noted, certain fees and expenses incurred during the Application Period were previously paid in accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order.

#
Legal Authority for Compensation
#

32. All of the professional services for which this award is being sought hereby were rendered solely on behalf of Genever (US) in connection with the chapter 11 cases herein.

#

33. Applicant respectfully submits that its services have benefited Genever (US) with the expertise and skill required in insurance litigation. The services for which such compensation is requested were performed for and on behalf of Genever (US). Such services have been necessary to protect and enforce the rights and interests of Genever (US) in connection with these chapter 11 cases. The reasonable value of services rendered by OMJB in these cases is based upon OMJB' usual hourly rates for matters of this nature.

#

34. Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code prescribes the general standards for determining the amount of compensation to be paid to professionals. The Applicant submits that the amount sought for the Application Period represents reasonable compensation for professional services rendered based upon the time spent, the nature, the extent, and the value of such services, taking into account the cost of comparable services in a non-bankruptcy case.

#

35. Section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for interim compensation of professionals and incorporates the substantive standards 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).4

#

36. 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 task addressed, 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 Court enjoys "considerable discretion in determining reasonable fee awards." In re Ahead Communication Systems, Inc., 395 B.R. 512 (D. Conn. 2008).

#

37. In assessing the "reasonableness" of the fees requested, the Second Circuit has stated that courts should consider the factors enumerated in Johnson v. Ga. Highway Express, Inc., 5 while also incorporating the "lodestar method." See Arbor Hill Concerned Citizens Neighborhood Ass'n v. County of Albany and Albany County 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),

#

4 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).

#

5 The twelve Johnson factors are (1) the time and labor required, (2) the novelty and difficulty of the questions, (3) the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly, (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.

#

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 . . . 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.6 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").

#

38. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable case law, the amount requested herein by OMJB is fair and reasonable.

#
Statutory Compliance
#

38. No agreement or understanding exists between OMJB and any other person for the sharing of compensation received or to be received for services rendered in or in connection with this matter. OMJB will not, in any form or guise, share or agree to share compensation for services with any person, nor will OMJB share in the compensation for any other person

#

6 The factors articulated in First Colonial were first articulated by the Fifth Circuit in Johnson, with the First Colonial court adding the factor of the "spirit of economy," which was later rejected by Congress. See Stroock & Stroock & Lavan v. Hillsborough Holdings Corp. (In re Hillsborough Holdings Corp.), 127 F.3d 1398, 1403 (11th Cir. 1997).

#

rendering service in these cases, except as so provided by Section 504(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule 2016 of the Bankruptcy Rules.

#
RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
#

39. To the extent that time or disbursement charges for services rendered or expenses incurred during the Application Period are not included in this Application, or OMJB has for any reason not sought compensation or reimbursement with respect to such services, OMJB reserves the right to request compensation and reimbursement for such services in a supplemental or future application in these chapter 11 cases. Also, OMJB does not waive, and expressly reserves, its right to respond to any objections regarding this Application and the amounts sought for services rendered and expenses incurred.

#
NO PRIOR REQUEST
#

40. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made to this Court or any other court.

#

[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]

#

WHEREFORE, OMJB respectfully requests entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto, (i) allowing interim compensation for professional services rendered during the Application Period in the amount of \$191,730 and reimbursement of \$5,240.02 in expenses, (ii) authorizing and directing prompt payment of fees and expenses from the estate, to the extent not already paid, (iii) allowing such compensation and payment for professional services rendered without prejudice to OMJB's right to seek further compensation and/or payment from the estates for the full value of services performed and expenses incurred, and (iv) granting OMJB such other and further relief as is just.
