Prior to his retirement from McAfee & Taft in 2025, Steven Bugg practiced primarily in the areas of creditors’ rights, bankruptcy, banking and commercial transactions, and related litigation. Over the course of his 43-year legal career with the firm, he also handled commercial litigation of all types, served as an arbitrator in commercial disputes, and developed significant experience with respect to agricultural loans and transactions, real estate, oil and gas, trucking, healthcare and Native American law matters.
Steven’s work in the areas of bankruptcy and creditor-debtor rights law earned him inclusion in Best Lawyers (bankruptcy and creditor debtor rights/insolvency and reorganization law; bankruptcy litigation) and Oklahoma Super Lawyers. He was named by Best Lawyers as “Oklahoma City Bankruptcy Litigation Lawyer of the Year” for 2020, an honor only given to a single lawyer in each legal specialty in each market.
