When it comes to workouts and restructuring, our full-service team advises secured and unsecured creditors, loan servicers, special servicers, acquirers, and other involved parties in debt and equity restructurings. Our attorneys handle all areas of real estate loan workouts, restructurings, and foreclosures, both inside and outside of court and bankruptcy matters.
Our team is experienced in handling distressed mergers and acquisitions (M&A), whether in an out-of-court transaction, a state court receivership, Section 363 sale under the Bankruptcy Code, under a plan of reorganization, or in a prepackaged or other enforcement transaction. We work with a distressed company's management and financial advisors to craft the optimal business-focused solution.
Our team concentrates on the acquisition, disposition, restructuring, and development of troubled properties. We sometimes install receivers to manage those properties. Additionally, our strength in banking allows us to provide financial institutions with counsel in connection with debtor in possession (DIP) financings and exit financings related to distressed M&A. We develop, negotiate, and execute reorganization strategies for all types of matters found in the asset resolution section of banks.
