Renowned Multi-Faceted Attorney Steven Kurtz Joins Stubbs Alderton & Markiles

Published

on

LOS ANGELES, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Leading Southern California law firm Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP (SA&M) is pleased to announce that Steven N. Kurtz will be joining as a Partner and Chair of the firm’s Commercial Finance, Insolvency & Specialty Lending Practice Group, which he will be launching, in addition to joining other practice groups.

Kurtz brings a well-tested, multi-faceted approach to SA&M, where he will continue to practice in the areas of commercial finance and corporate transactions, representing creditors with respect to bankruptcy, insolvency, and creditors’ rights issues and related litigation matters. He also regularly acts as an expert witness/consultant and serves as outside general counsel to several factoring and asset-based lending firms.

A frequent speaker and regular contributor to IFA’s Commercial Factor magazine, Kurtz has authored over 50 articles on commercial finance law since 2019, covering topics ranging from UCC security interests and chapter 11 dynamics to digital asset financing and regulatory developments affecting the industry.

“While the Firm has never actually had a core commercial finance practice, those issues are very germane to, and frequently part of many of our corporate finance transactions. Having a Partner of Steve’s stature enables us not only to expand the breadth of lending services we provide to our clients, but under his leadership, we expect this new practice area to become an expanding part of our corporate practice,” says Scott Alderton, SA&M’s Managing Partner. “His unparalleled expertise in both transactional matters and litigation will undoubtedly be an asset to our clients, and we are delighted to have him on board,” Alderton concludes.

Kurtz launched his career in commercial and bankruptcy litigation, and later expanded his practice to include structuring complex commercial finance transactions, ultimately dividing his time evenly between litigation and transactional matters at Levinson Arshonsky Kurtz & Komsky LLP, the firm he founded. 

Regarding his transition, Kurtz remarks, “It is a privilege to join the growing team at Stubbs Alderton & Markiles. I have long respected the firm’s outstanding ability to develop sophisticated, forward-looking solutions for complex legal and business issues, always prioritizing a client’s strategic vision and future roadmap. I look forward to addressing these and other challenges, particularly in commercial finance, litigation, and insolvency, as they arise.”

Kurtz is a Regent in the American College of Commercial Finance Lawyers, a member of the Fellows of the American Bar Association, the co-General Counsel of the International Factoring Association, and has been recognized as a Southern California “Super Lawyer” for seven consecutive years. He received his J.D. from McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific, and graduated from San Diego State University with a B.S. in Psychology.

New St. Peters warehouse lets local shoppers bid on returned, overstock goods from top national retailers, with savings of up to 80% off retail

PITTSBURGH, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Online retail liquidation company, MAC.BID, announced today the opening of its 30th retail location in St. Peters, Missouri, part of the St. Louis metro area. The new facility, located at 16060 Spencer Road St. Peters, MO 63376, will open later this fall and is expected to create more than 70 new local jobs.

St. Peters warehouse lets shoppers bid on returned, overstock goods from national retailers, with savings of up to 80%

MAC.BID buys returned and overstocked products by the truckload from top retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, and Wayfair and resells the items individually through their proprietary online auction platform. All products are put up for auction with an opening bid of $1, and are sold to the highest bidder with no reserve price. Winning bidders can expect to save up to 80% off retail while enjoying the online auction process.

“We’re excited to become part of the St. Peters and the larger St. Louis Metro community as we open our 30th warehouse,” said Kellen Campbell, co-founder and president of MAC.BID. “We see real opportunity here, for the local economy, for the more than 70 people we’ll hire, and for shoppers across the St. Louis metro area looking for a smarter way to save.”

MAC.BID operates at the heart of retailers’ biggest headache: reverse logistics. MAC.BID works directly with major retailers to process truckloads of returned and overstock merchandise that would otherwise be difficult and costly for retailers to handle internally. Retail returns require significant labor, time, and warehouse space to inspect, sort, and re-route back to inventory, often at a scale that makes it inefficient for retailers to manage in-house. Instead, many retailers choose to sell this inventory in bulk to MAC.BID, allowing products to move quickly through a streamlined resale process.

“As grocery bills, gas prices, and everyday costs keep climbing, families are having to choose between the things they need and the things they love,” Campbell added. “MAC.BID changes that. We deliver deep discounts on the products people already love and make saving money feel like winning, not settling.”

At its core, MAC.BID believes in providing second chances for the products they sell and communities they impact. The company’s devotion to sustainability ensures that many returned and overstocked items find a new home through its marketplace and aren’t left squandered.

The Pennsylvania-based company now employs over 1,600 teammates across its 30 locations in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. In 2025 alone, MAC.BID helped customers save more than $1.1 billion off retail pricing, driven by more than 17,000 truckloads of products processed and 300,000+ items put up for auction daily through the company’s auction platform.
