BLG’s Insolvency and Restructuring Group carries on one of Canada's leading restructuring, workout, bankruptcy and insolvency practices. The core of the Insolvency and Restructuring Group comprises leaders in the field with decades of restructuring experience.
Members of BLG's Insolvency and Restructuring Group regularly appear before superior and appellate courts (including the Supreme Court of Canada) in insolvency, bankruptcy and restructuring proceedings. Formal bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings are often court driven. We have represented clients in respect in contested bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation and realization proceedings; sales process hearings; sale approval motions; classification hearings; priority issues; plan sanction and approval motions as well as preference, fraudulent conveyance, undervalue, reviewable transaction, oppression, alter ego, subordination and related litigation. While consensual resolution of difficult issues is often preferable, it is not always possible. Our Insolvency and Restructuring Group is well equipped to advance our clients' rights and interests before the courts. We have broad industry experience, having acted on behalf of our clients on matters in a wide range of industries.
With professionals in Canada's major centres, we have the national strength and the local knowledge to vigorously represent and protect the interests of our clients — no matter where in the country the matter is centred.
