Our team walks stride-for-stride with lenders traversing the rocky terrain of Chapter 11 and Chapter 15 proceedings and state court insolvency proceedings, as well as complex out-of-court restructurings. We craft pragmatic, results-driven strategies designed not only to address legal hurdles, but also to align with clients’ business objectives and preserve long-term value in times of volatility. Our goal: maximize recoveries while minimizing risk, time, and disruption.
Clients consistently turn to us for strategic guidance on negotiating and documenting out-of-court solutions that avoid the cost and unpredictability of bankruptcy. We’ve recently advised on restructurings across a wide spectrum of industries, including automotive, steel, real estate, telecommunications, health care, and recreational products—each bringing its own set of legal, regulatory, and business dynamics. Our lawyers understand these nuances and move quickly to secure the most favorable position for our clients.
Unlike bankruptcy and restructuring teams at other law firms, we don’t work in silos. Instead, we deploy tailored teams that draw on our group’s strengths in corporate law, commercial finance, tax, and real estate, combined with the experience of our colleagues in these and other related areas. This integrated, multidisciplinary model allows us to provide holistic, coordinated counsel in distressed environments—whether we’re navigating loan modifications, structuring asset sales, or negotiating creditor agreements. Clients benefit not only from our legal proficiency but also our cost-conscious approach that protects clients’ bottom lines.
While out-of-court workouts are often the more efficient path, we know that some situations elevate in complexity and intensity and can—or should—move to the courtroom. When litigation becomes necessary, our lawyers act swiftly with creative and aggressive legal solutions rooted in a deep command of the Bankruptcy Code and commercial finance principles. We help clients seize control of the narrative and advance toward resolution with well-defined direction and persuasive precision. We’re also skilled at advising on post-confirmation issues and creditor committee representation when those opportunities arise.
For secured lenders and equipment lessors, we provide experienced representation in both judicial and out-of-court scenarios involving equipment finance disputes, collateral enforcement, and recovery actions. Our team offers a commercially savvy, solution-focused approach that blends business sense with legal rigor and includes deep knowledge in repossession strategy and collateral preservation.
Indenture trustees, bondholders, and institutional investors rely on us to guide them through debt defaults, enforcement actions, and high-stakes disputes. With extensive experience interpreting complex indentures and representing stakeholders in major bond and structured finance matters, we combine sophisticated legal insight with sharp advocacy and strategic foresight. We also advise on pre-default risk mitigation and distressed debt acquisitions, giving our clients a clear edge in unpredictable markets.
