Bankruptcy Litigation

Wernick Law's bankruptcy/restructuring department has developed particular depth in Subchapter V small business restructurings, and also represents a broad range of clients, including middle-market and closely held businesses, entrepreneurs, family-owned companies, healthcare-related enterprises, real estate interests, and high-net-worth individuals facing complex financial distress. The firm routinely advises business owners with significant secured debt, multi-party litigation exposure, tax liabilities, and operational restructuring needs.

The firm recently secured confirmation of a highly contested Chapter 11 plan in the Middle District of Florida in a reorganization case involving multiple secured lenders, an official creditors' committee, and substantial operational challenges. Through extensive negotiations, the firm achieved a fully consensual restructuring that preserved equity interests, restructured secured debt, maintained ongoing business operations, and provided for full payment to unsecured creditors over time.

Led by board-certified bankruptcy attorney Aaron Wernick and supported by a team focused exclusively on insolvency and restructuring matters, the department is known for handling sophisticated Chapter 11 engagements with a practical, solutions-oriented approach that emphasizes consensual outcomes, operational continuity, and value preservation for stakeholders.
