About

Provided by Landis Rath & Cobb LLP

We believe that no attorney is better suited to represent a creditor in a bankruptcy case than a lawyer who has represented a debtor, and that no lawyer can give advice in a bankruptcy transaction as well as an attorney who has structured sales for both sellers and buyers.

That is why Landis Rath & Cobb LLP’s diverse bankruptcy and restructuring practice sets us apart, enabling us to provide clients with exceptional insights gained from representing parties with interests across a company’s capital structure, including debtors, trustees, official committees, officers and directors, secured lenders, asset acquirers and unsecured creditors.

Whether advising as lead counsel or partnering with co-counsel, our clients directly benefit from our diverse resume, as we offer unique perspective into both sides of the bankruptcy process and experienced insight into the likely outcomes that will result from any particular course of action.
