Natalie Wilson has a passion for helping businesses thrive in challenging economic and regulatory environments. She has over a decade of experience representing debtors, trustees, and creditors in commercial bankruptcy cases filed under chapters 7 and 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, including related litigation and appeals. She also consults with other members of the firm about bankruptcy-related issues or questions that may arise in litigation or transactional matters.
The foundation of Ms. Wilson’s success in the restructuring arena is her ability to quickly learn the intricacies of a particular business so that she can develop creative, yet feasible, solutions to the challenges in any given industry. One common source of great uncertainty and potential liability across all industries is cybersecurity, data protection, and privacy. Recognizing the potentially enormous impact that cyber-attacks and data breaches can have on business operations and profitability, Ms. Wilson expanded her practice to include these areas. She assists businesses in developing and implementing policies, terms of use, response plans, and in responding to adverse incidents.
Prior to joining Langley & Banack, Ms. Wilson clerked for Associate Justice Simeon R. Acoba, Jr. (Ret.) at the Hawaii Supreme Court. Her clerkship honed her research and writing skills and gave her insight into how courts decide cases. Most importantly, Justice Acoba emphasized the commitment to providing quality representation and service to every party before the Court and set an example of professionalism that established the tone for Ms. Wilson’s practice. After her clerkship, Ms. Wilson entered private practice in Honolulu, Hawaii, practicing before the bankruptcy, federal, and state courts in Hawaii.
In addition to her thriving legal practice and her membership in various bar associations, Ms. Wilson is active in the Military Spouse JD Network, a bar association for lawyers married to members of the armed forces. She previously served as Key Spouse Mentor for the 836th Cyberspace Operations Squadron and as the Key Spouse for the 92nd Cyber Operations Squadron (2016-2017) and the 624th Operations Center (2011-2012).
Ms. Wilson’s outstanding contributions to the community have been widely recognized. She has been honored as a Professional “On the Rise” by Texas Lawyer Magazine (2018), San Antonio Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 (2016), and the Belva Lockwood Outstanding Young Lawyer by the Bexar County Women’s Bar Foundation (2014). In 2020, upon her spouse’s retirement from active duty service, Ms. Wilson received the “Yellow Rose of Texas” Commission from Governor Abbott.
