Mohsin Meghji drew scrutiny for behavior with bankruptcy judges in unrelated case involving drugmaker

Clergy abuse survivors and other parties ensnared in the Roman Catholic archdiocese of New Orleans’ expensive and lengthy bankruptcy reorganization are concerned after a nationally recognized business-turnaround expert brought on to assist with resolving the unusually contentious proceeding had some of his actions questioned in an unrelated case.

Judge Meredith Grabill’s chosen expert, Mohsin “Mo” Meghji, was recently the subject of a Wall Street Journal investigation that examined ethical concerns over some of his maneuvering in a pharmaceutical company’s high-stakes bankruptcy reorganization.
