Bankruptcy Debtor/Creditor Rights and Bankruptcy Litigation
Bankruptcy Debtor/Creditor Rights and Bankruptcy Litigation
We dedicate ourselves to understanding our clients and helping them with their changing business challenges. Our primary goal is to achieve effective solutions for even the most complex issues and to assist our clients in minimizing their financial exposure.
Our attorneys represent secured lenders, financial institutions, and other sophisticated investors, in structuring and restructuring financial products to limit bankruptcy and commercial risks. We advise clients on the structure and bankruptcy implications of proposed transactions (including mergers and acquisitions), collateralized debt obligations, trade receivables, structured financings, mortgage loans, and other transactional work.
We counsel debtor clients through the bankruptcy process in Chapters 7 and 11. We also advise prospective debtors regarding alternatives to bankruptcy, including assignments for the benefit of creditors (ABCs).
Our clients include landlords, lenders, financial institutions, and purchasers of assets from troubled companies, debtors, private and public debt and equity holders, creditor committees, equity committees, trustees, and examiners. We have handled every aspect of a deal and know the key issues involved in acquiring businesses in and out of bankruptcy. We have also counseled investors on acquiring debt positions in distressed companies to gain control over companies through the bankruptcy reorganization process.
