Debtor Representation
The core of our bankruptcy practice is representing debtors and creditors in efforts to restructure and rehabilitate distressed businesses or liquidate assets in a manner that preserves and maximizes their value.
Our firm provides advice on all aspects related to Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 proceedings, as well as out-of-court restructurings, recapitalizations and pre-negotiated workouts. Our experience allows clients to fully evaluate the risks, benefits, challenges and opportunities available in restructuring proceedings, whether in bankruptcy court or at the negotiating table.
We frequently assist corporations, business entities, and individuals in financial troubles to determine the best course of action to address their current situation, including negotiations with creditors and alternate dispute resolution. We help with asset sales, debtor-in-possession and other financing, debt restructuring, valuations, and other issues that seek to maximize value for the client and reduce risks.
