Burtch, as a Chapter 7 Trustee for the bankruptcy estate of Debtor Sienna Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. initiates about twelve (12) clawback actions to avoid and recover approximately $1.5 million in alleged preferential transfers of property.

The Trustee also seeks to disallow all claims that the creditors filed or asserted against the estate so long as the creditors fail to pay or surrender to the Trustee the value of the avoidable transfers according to Sections 502(d) and (j) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Some of the creditors against whom the Trustee has initiated lawsuits include ; Innovaderm Research Inc. for return of $459,259.59, Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear, LLP for return of $250,589.03 and IQVIA Biotech LLC for $199,690.12.

Walrath is overseeing the Debtor’s cases. Cozen O’Connor P.C., a law firm based in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is representing the Trustee.
