Bankruptcy/Restructuring

Perkins Coie maintains a national, full-service bankruptcy and restructuring practice representing a variety of constituencies in distressed situations. We provide counsel for debtors, secured and unsecured creditors, trustees, and receivers in out-of-court negotiations as well as representation in state and federal court litigation across the country.

Unlike firms that limit their practices primarily to bankruptcy, Perkins Coie can leverage resources across multiple practice areas, disciplines and regions to assist our clients in bankruptcy or restructuring matters, resulting in faster, more efficient service, particularly in larger, complicated Chapter 11 reorganizations. In public company cases, for example, we have achieved consolidations, resolved labor and environmental issues, provided comprehensive tax advice and resolved securities problems.

Perkins Coie is frequently called upon to provide advice and implement risk mitigation strategies for various complex supplier/customer and landlord/tenant bankruptcy issues and to counsel directors and officers in insolvency and corporate governance matters.

Our firm has one of the largest and most experienced hotel bankruptcy and workouts group in the country. We also have significant restructuring expertise in the highly regulated healthcare industry, representing asset purchasers, plan sponsors, debtor-in-possession lenders, creditor committees, landlords in restructuring negotiations, bankruptcies and litigation nationwide.
