Bankruptcy/Restructuring

Balch & Bingham’s Bankruptcy practice advises clients on matters where bankruptcy and restructuring intersect with broader business and regulatory issues. The team regularly represents banks and other secured creditors holding distressed or defaulted debt, both in and out of court.

The practice is well known for its work with utility companies in Chapter 11 cases, often serving as lead counsel in proceedings across the country. Attorneys also guide litigation strategy for major debt purchasers, drawing on experience developed through significant, high-profile matters.

The group also represents indenture trustees in bond defaults, advises investors in Section 363 sales, defends FDCPA claims, and works with stakeholders in insolvencies involving natural resource assets, including coal, oil, and gas.
