Our extensive experience provides clients with cost effective representation and results no matter where the bankruptcy case may be pending.

Other Insolvency Situations

We have substantial experience guiding creditors, fiduciaries, and businesses through alternative insolvency proceedings, and we use our collective experience to assist clients in choosing the most appropriate path for resolving the affairs of a troubled business.

• Receiverships

We have represented numerous lending institutions and businesses in workout arrangements that have led to successful restructuring of credit agreements without the expense and delay of bankruptcy.
