Cody Reedman practices insolvency, restructuring and commercial litigation. His practice has a particular focus on receiverships, bankruptcy and disputes involving debt, security and competing claims to assets. He represents businesses, borrowers and guarantors, and acts as counsel to licensed insolvency trustees and receivers.

​

Cody advises businesses and their directors on financial difficulties, creditor negotiations and restructuring options. His work includes workouts and forbearance arrangements, proposals, CCAA proceedings, contested receiverships and foreclosure. He works with clients and their financial advisers to assess the available options, the costs of proceedings and the commercial consequences of enforcement or restructuring.

Cody has appeared twice before the Supreme Court of Canada as lead counsel for the appellants, having acted in both matters from first instance. In Poonian v. British Columbia (Securities Commission), 2024 SCC 28, the Court considered the treatment of administrative monetary penalties and disgorgement orders in bankruptcy. In Piekut v. Canada (National Revenue), 2025 SCC 13, it addressed the discharge of government student loans. He has appeared at every level of court in British Columbia.

​

For licensed insolvency trustees and receivers, Cody provides advice and representation on security validity and enforceability, creditor priorities, asset realization and contested bankruptcy matters. He pursues recovery claims and advises on transactions involving insolvent businesses and estates, including purchases from trustees and receivers.

​

Reedman Law does not act for institutional lenders. That independence is an important part of Cody’s borrower-side practice and his work providing security opinions to insolvency professionals. He also acts for private lenders and other creditors in enforcement and asset recovery proceedings.

​

Cody’s commercial litigation practice includes loan and guarantee disputes, civil fraud, breaches of trust and fiduciary duty, and claims involving assets alleged to have been improperly transferred or concealed. He pursues and defends these claims, drawing on both civil and insolvency remedies. His work also includes cross-border insolvency and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.

​

As a Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP), Cody advises on insolvent deceased estates, creditor claims against estates, and disputes concerning trust property. He works with estate and family lawyers where financial distress or bankruptcy affects an administration, property claim or proposed settlement.

​

Lawyers, accountants and insolvency professionals instruct Cody on insolvency advice, distressed transactions, contested proceedings and appeals. He accepts mandates as counsel or alongside existing counsel, including local counsel instructions from lawyers outside British Columbia.

​

Cody holds an LLM in Financial Law from Osgoode Hall Law School and a Graduate Certificate, with distinction, in Forensic Investigation of Fraud and Financial Crime from BCIT. ​He is a contributing author to Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law in Canada and has published in the Annual Review of Insolvency Law and the Banking and Finance Law Review. He has presented at legal and insolvency conferences in Canada and the Cayman Islands.​
