Restructuring
We regularly counsel clients on bankruptcy considerations related to business transactions and we are often called up to counsel boards of directors to provide restructuring advice.
Creditors' Rights
Our creditors' rights practice includes representing secured and unsecured creditors on matters involving bankruptcy and the attainment of provisional remedies. In bankruptcy, we represent the interests of secured and unsecured creditors, lessors and contract parties seeking to assert their rights and protect their interests. We have represented secured lenders, rents/profits receivers and equity receivers throughout California.
Receivership
GRSM’s Receivership Practice is comprised of a nationwide team of attorneys with decades of experience representing owners, receivers and claimants in state, federal and administrative receivership proceedings.
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. Over the course of numerous complex receiverships and appointments, our Receivership Practice has developed a well-tested group of seasoned financial analysts, forensic accountants, management and real estate experts to assist in aggressively, efficiently and successfully carrying out necessary fiduciary duties.
