Our bankruptcy and creditors’ remedies practice provides an invaluable service to our commercial clients—financial institutions, corporate entities, receivers, and bankruptcy trustees, among many others. Bankruptcy and insolvency issues are complicated and involve high levels of uncertainty that require experience to navigate. We routinely represent clients in commercial collection, bankruptcy, and insolvency-related disputes, including representation of clients’ interests as both secured and unsecured creditors in bankruptcy cases, as well as litigation regarding defaulted commercial loans and personal guaranties, commercial landlord/tenant disputes, lien foreclosures, and fraudulent transfers—whether before, during, or after a bankruptcy proceeding, to name a few.
Whatever the issue, because of the risks involved in an insolvency situation, our first step is to advise our clients on how to most efficiently and effectively resolve their case, whether through rigorous settlement negotiations or heading to court. Whichever direction, our experience provides the know-how necessary to guide our clients, both inside and outside the courtroom, to the outcomes they want and expect when faced with difficult bankruptcy or insolvency–related circumstances.
