CREDITORS’ RIGHTS AND BANKRUPTCY
We provide our clients with a full-range of legal services in the context of bankruptcy and insolvency, receiverships, workouts and commercial restructurings, foreclosure actions, and other matters involving financially-distressed parties and situations where creditor-clients need to preserve their interests, collateral, and other rights. The firm’s Creditors’ Rights and Bankruptcy group possesses the highly specialized knowledge of the law that is required for success in these matters. Even more importantly, we bring an understanding of how that law fits into the broader legal and commercial context at play in any particular case, creatively tailoring strategies and solutions to fit your needs and goals. We will work collaboratively with you, using a mix of negotiation and litigation as needed. When negotiation fails, however, our litigation experience can be tapped to obtain relief for our clients, always keeping our clients’ economic realities and goals at the forefront.
Our expertise arises from decades of representing a broad array of clients facing these issues, including national and community banks and other financial institutions, as well as local businesses and businessmen. We have been involved in lien enforcement actions, construction disputes, foreclosures, and the negotiation of workouts and forbearance agreements. We also have experience handling a wide range of bankruptcy issues and litigation. This includes negotiating adequate protection agreements, prosecuting motions for relief from stay, defending and pursuing preference actions, prosecuting non-dischargeability actions, representing creditor’s committees and preparing competing or liquidating plans for secured creditors. We will provide you with the creative, persistent, and committed representation needed to recover possession of your collateral, collect amounts due promptly and efficiently and otherwise protect your financial position in these matters.
