About

Provided by Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff & Sitterson, P.A.

We counsel clients throughout the State of Florida in connection with all aspects of corporate and financial insolvency matters. We have experience in complex in-court and out-of-court distressed acquisitions, restructurings, reorganizations, recapitalizations, workouts and liquidations. We represent both sellers and purchasers of assets and businesses, investors, troubled companies and their boards, management and owners, banks and other lenders, and creditors’ committees.

We offer strategic guidance on restructuring distressed businesses to help maximize their value and provide pragmatic solutions for resolving disputes arising from business failures. Our goal is to enable companies to continue operating while evaluating restructuring alternatives, implementing strategies to navigate conflicting priorities of stakeholders and pursue workout and turnaround plans that are acceptable to all parties. When litigation becomes necessary, we have decades of trial experience helping clients expeditiously seek maximum recoveries on claims.

In a fiduciary capacity, we serve secured and unsecured creditors, banks, and other financial institutions as liquidating trustees, receivers, plan administrators, disbursing agents, or financial advisors.

We also support financially healthy companies in their efforts to recapitalize or restructure their operations through preemptive contingency planning.
