Bankruptcy/Restructuring

Adams and Reese attorneys and advisors represent creditors, commercial lenders, examiners, trustees, purchasers and commercial debtors in various commercial restructuring and bankruptcy matters. 

Through our membership in the American Bankruptcy Institute (including the American College of Bankruptcy, which has elected some of our lawyers to Fellowship) and other international organizations as well as close ties to our communities, we’ve built an extensive network of professional partners, including workout specialists, forensic accountants, valuation specialists, investment bankers and financial services consultants. 

Some of the attorneys on our team started their careers as document drafters and negotiators and others as trial lawyers.
