With offices in all 50 states, including virtually every major financial and commercial center, the Bankruptcy, Restructuring & Creditors’ Rights Group represents clients nationwide. Our attorneys possess extensive experience representing clients in bankruptcies, workouts and litigation, both in and out of court. Our clients include secured and unsecured creditors, debtors-in-possession, bankruptcy trustees, creditors’ committees, recipients of avoidable transfers, buyers of distressed businesses, directors, officers and shareholders, and other parties in bankruptcy.
We represent clients in all aspects of bankruptcy across the country. Our clients include debtors-in-possession, creditors’ committees, trustees, secured and unsecured creditors, bond holders, equity security holders, investors, and insurance companies. In court or out of court, our attorneys possess the experience to guide our clients through a complex and often adverse bankruptcy proceeding. Our litigation experience includes both prosecution and defense of avoidance actions, non-dischargeability actions, the plan confirmation process, directors and officers litigation, fiduciary litigation, and defense of claims.
We regularly counsel clients on bankruptcy considerations related to business transactions. We are often called to counsel boards of directors to provide restructuring advice to enable our clients to select the best path forward, whether it be an out of court workout, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, a formal dissolution under state law, or a bankruptcy proceeding, including chapter 11 reorganization, or chapter 7 liquidation.
We have extensive experience in representing both secured and unsecured creditors. We understand that each situation is unique and tailor our representation to maximize recovery through negotiation, and if warranted, through litigation. We are well versed in provisional remedies, including receiverships and can assist clients in multiple jurisdictions across the country given our firm’s 50 state platform. Our bankruptcy expertise also allows us to seamlessly follow the debtor into a bankruptcy proceeding to protect our client’s rights.
We are experienced in utilizing receiverships as an effective tool at the early stage of a litigation, as a matter of preliminary relief, and as a final remedy. We understand the strategic use of receiverships from both the private party’s perspective and the government enforcement agency’s perspective.
