Overview
The bankruptcy, insolvency and restructuring practice represents clients in a broad range of negotiations which often lead to out-of-court workouts or restructuring with secured and unsecured creditors.
ADDRESSING YOUR NEEDS
Recognizing that the adversarial and competitive business environment requires increasingly creative strategies to avert serious financial difficulties, members of the practice are often called upon to act as key advisors in developing strategies and negotiating out-of-court restructurings with secured and unsecured creditors.
Our attorneys know that there is often a misperception of the benefits and detriments of filing a bankruptcy case. Members of the practice make certain that our clients, whether debtors or creditors, recognize the risks and rewards in agreeing to an out-of-court workout or restructuring versus the filing of bankruptcy. Our goal is to assist our clients in reaching the most advantageous position possible. Of course, if an out-of-court resolution cannot be reached, our attorneys have a wide array of experience representing clients’ interests in bankruptcy.
