Our Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights lawyers are nationally recognized for helping debtors and creditors efficiently and pragmatically solve insolvency-related issues.
Navigating effectively through bankruptcy and insolvency law requires an experienced, steady hand. More than just knowing the rules of the game, it requires foresight, instinct, creativity, and tenacity. Our team represents debtors, secured and unsecured creditors, committees, financial institutions, bankruptcy trustees, and asset purchasers.
We begin by defining the scope of our representation, the client’s business and strategic goals, and the available options, including the budgetary and risk implications of each. We work hard to ensure there are no surprises.
Some of our specific areas of expertise include:
We offer more than narrow expertise―we see the big picture. In addition to the specialized bankruptcy skills, many of our Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights lawyers have extensive knowledge in finance, business practices, and commercial transactions. We routinely draw on this knowledge in corporate and business law to advise clients on the effect non-bankruptcy issues have on achieving a successful result.
Our attorneys frequently speak at seminars across the country hosted by such organizations as the American Bankruptcy Institute and American Bar Association.
