Bankruptcy, Workout and Corporate Reorganization

Our bankruptcy attorneys handle a wide range of matters in high-profile and complex corporate reorganizations and related litigation across the United States. Our experience covers a broad array of industries, including financial, food, manufacturing, government contracting, hospitality, real estate, public utility, telecommunications, gaming, entertainment, insurance, retail, airline and transportation. We also have extensive experience in bankruptcy cases involving financial fraud, corporate malfeasance and mass torts.

We represent public and private companies in bankruptcy proceedings, out-of-court  restructurings, debt for equity exchanges, “internal” reorganizations, and distressed asset purchases and sales.  Our attorneys also frequently represent investors, lenders, creditors or equity holders in bankruptcy cases, out-of-court restructuring transactions or workouts, and provide advice on credit issues, derivatives, structured finance and other sophisticated financial instruments, as well as other insolvency-related issues.  We also represent trustees, examiners, creditors’ committees, equity committees and retiree committees in Chapter 11 cases, as well as trustees in Chapter 7 cases.

In addition to traditional bankruptcy and insolvency-related counseling and representations, our attorneys also try complex insolvency-related lawsuits and adversary proceedings throughout the country.  We have both prosecuted and defended against high profile fraudulent transfer, preferential transfer and successor liability actions, and have conducted many fraud investigations in connection with bankruptcy cases.  Our attorneys also have been involved in numerous contested bankruptcy matters, including contested debtor-in-possession financing, trustee appointment, and plan confirmation hearings.  Our distinctive client profile often allows us to serve conflict-free in litigated bankruptcy matters.

Several partners in our practice are Fellows of the American College of Bankruptcy and the American College of Commercial Finance Lawyers.  They teach restructuring courses at major law schools, and lecture and write extensively on bankruptcy related topics.
