William K. Harrington will serve as the new U.S. Trustee overseeing Manhattan’s bankruptcy court, in an appointment that includes New York, Connecticut and Vermont.
Harrington will replace former trustee Tracy Hope Davis, according to a statement today from the U.S. Justice Department. Trustees are watchdogs for malfeasance in bankruptcy, often objecting to lawyers’ fees and expenses in cases or weighing in when a company may have violated the bankruptcy code.
