Our Financial Restructuring and Insolvency practice has been a stronghold of the Firm as executives fighting to save their troubled companies and creditors striving to protect their interests have constantly turned to the Firm for timely, coordinated and effective counsel.
Our attorneys are experts in various aspects of the practice, including debt collection, consensual work-outs, representations of distressed companies and debtors, creditor committees, banks and other creditors, as well as buyers and sellers of distressed assets.
The Firm develops innovative legal solutions to difficult financial circumstances, with a goal of maximizing the legal, tax, accounting and financial objectives of all transaction parties. When litigation becomes necessary, our lawyers put into motion strategies and remedies to obtain the greatest recoveries on claims.
Drawing on the breadth of that experience, we are able to manage complex and multidisciplinary restructurings involving numerous players and assets, and bring them to a successful and timely close.
