Bankruptcy/Restructuring: Highly Regarded

We represent official and unofficial creditors' committees and equity committees in diverse Chapter 11 and other insolvency matters, collaborating with commercial and investment banks, savings institutions, mutual funds, pension funds, and other financial firms in their management of troubled credit, or claims against companies in distress. We also advise clients interested in buying assets from Chapter 11 debtors. In addition, we structure and secure bankruptcy court approval of debtor-in-possession financing.

When appropriate, we consult with the firm's corporate and tax groups to structure transactions that minimize future complications and liability, and to avoid the domino effect that one bad deal can have on a company's overall well-being. We also advise on the significant bankruptcy aspects of various transactions, including commercial finance transactions, as well as on mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures of solvent, insolvent, and other highly leveraged companies. Our bankruptcy attorneys are involved in large and complex commercial, industrial, and residential real estate insolvencies, and they assist companies in emerging from bankruptcy with controlled environmental liabilities.

We also prosecute and defend all types of litigation related to bankruptcy proceedings. We are noted for representing the interests of shareholders, investors, and consumers in class action and other litigation against corporate defendants that are in bankruptcy.
