About

Provided by McCarter & English, LLP

Our bankruptcy and commercial litigation team deploys a wide range of restructuring options and litigation strategies to help both distressed asset owners and creditors not only minimize losses but also leverage the sale or leasing of assets that could potentially lead to new opportunities.

Because of our deep bench of experience, we have encountered nearly every situation related to bankruptcy and insolvency and counseled clients from myriad industries. We are particularly noted for handling creditors’ rights; debtor or creditor committees counsel work; prosecution of claims; defense of preference claims; prepackaged bankruptcies to shorten turnaround times; business and loan restructuring; forbearance agreements,\; structured settlements; and loan sales—as well as in representing buyers in Section 363 sales of debtors’ assets.

We regularly collaborate with colleagues from our tax, real estate, environmental, energy, and corporate practices to ensure that clients get the benefit of subject matter experts in every discipline.
