After undergraduate studies at Claremont Men's College and the University of Oregon, Mr. Muhlheim graduated from the University of Oregon School of Law with honors in 1968. He then served four years as an officer in the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the United States Army. In 1972, he entered private practice in Eugene, Oregon, eventually becoming the senior member of the creditors' rights department of one of Oregon's larger law firms. In that capacity, his practice emphasized representation of lending institutions and regulatory agencies faced by increasing incidents of default in their commercial loan portfolios. In 1992, Mr. Muhlheim started this practice emphasizing representation of both creditors and debtors, as well as other interested constituencies in commercial and bankruptcy litigation, insolvency proceedings, and business reorganizations.
Mr. Muhlheim has served as a lawyer representative to the United States Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference. He presently serves as counsel to the Oregon State Bar in selected disciplinary matters.
During the 2004-05 academic year, Mr. Muhlheim sat as an adjunct professor of law teaching Secured Land Transactions at the University of Oregon School of Law. Mr. Muhlheim is board certified in Business Bankruptcy Law by the American Board of Certification and has been consistently recognized as one of Oregon's preeminent commercial bankruptcy practitioners by The Best Lawyers in America.
