Bankruptcy & Financial Restructuring
For over 25 years (since the Bankruptcy Code was enacted), our firm has been representing and advising state, regional and national businesses in bankruptcy/financial restructuring matters in their capacities as creditors, debtors, and equity owners. On the creditor side, we have extensive experience in representing both secured and unsecured creditors. Representation of secured creditors has included preparation and filing of creditor's plans of reorganization. In the case of unsecured creditors, we have assisted unsecured creditors and creditors committees in Chapter 11 cases in their efforts to maximize the return to unsecured creditors. This has included everything from filing proofs of claims (and, as often is the case, litigating objections to claims) to analyzing plans prepared by debtors, negotiating modifications of these plans to obtain better treatment of unsecured creditors, and advising unsecured creditors on their rights under the Bankruptcy Code and whether to vote for or against a proposed plan.
