Career

Jeff Krieger’s practice is broad and encompasses both creditors and debtors, as well as clients whose business dealings are potentially affected by financial distress, whether involving a vendor, a customer, business partner or simply a stakeholder. By combining strategic, high-level counsel with deep expertise in the procedural elements of bankruptcy law, Jeff assists his clients in managing the risks presented by bankruptcy proceedings and maximizing the opportunities.

Although he has counseled clients in a range of industries, real estate and entertainment (particularly production studios and television companies) are two of Jeff’s primary industry verticals. For these clients, he often acts as a kind of Distant Early Warning system when a party with whom they have business dealings—say, a contractual relationship—either enters Chapter 11 or begins exhibiting signs of financial distress. In these situations, Jeff works with a client to evaluate the situation, and review the key tactical issues: “How do I protect myself?”; “Can I continue to do business with this company?”; “How do we collect what we’re owed?”; and “When should we terminate this arrangement?”

Jeff’s experience and strategic sense often enable him to utilize bankruptcy as a source of competitive advantage for his clients.
