About

Provided by GrayRobinson, PA

The GrayRobinson bankruptcy and creditors’ rights group guides clients through insolvency’s legal and financial complexities with a multidisciplinary team experienced in both in- and out-of-court restructurings. We represent all parties in bankruptcy matters, including debtors, secured and unsecured creditors, trustees, receivers, asset purchasers, and fiduciaries. With decades of experience, we are active in significant proceedings throughout Florida and beyond.

Our work includes Chapter 7 and 11 cases, Assignments for the Benefit of Creditors (ABCs), lender liability, preference actions, distressed asset acquisitions, debt restructuring, loan enforcement, and litigation arising from complex creditor-debtor relationships. We offer coordinated support across Florida, backed by our full-service firm.

We regularly advise institutional lenders and financial stakeholders on workouts and enforcement actions, including class action defense and “truth in lending” claims. We also resolve commercial disputes through bankruptcy forums, including real estate, corporate governance, and business tort matters.

With backgrounds in real estate, finance, and estate planning, our team provides integrated counsel. We advise fiduciaries, support bankruptcy-related acquisitions, and handle matters involving the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act. In all cases, we pursue business-minded strategies that preserve value, limit exposure, and protect long-term interests.
