This isn’t one-size-fits-all legal counsel. Our attorneys take a hands-on, practical approach, drawing on extensive litigation and transactional experience to tailor strategies that serve our clients’ immediate needs and long-term goals. We’ve represented parties in nearly every type of insolvency proceeding—from single-asset cases to large-scale, cross-border restructurings—in industries including manufacturing, real estate, technology, healthcare, financial services, agriculture, and more.

Bankruptcy matters often unfold in contested environments, and our litigators have the courtroom experience and judgment to successfully resolve even the most complex disputes. We prosecute and defend preference and fraudulent transfer actions, successor liability claims, disputes over personal guarantees, and other adversary proceedings in federal bankruptcy courts, federal district courts, and state courts. Our experience also extends to filing involuntary bankruptcy petitions and defending creditor claims in highly contested cases.

Our work often begins before a formal bankruptcy is filed. We routinely help clients assess the financial health of counterparties, structure deals to mitigate insolvency risk, and negotiate proactive solutions to avoid litigation or forced liquidation. When bankruptcy is inevitable—or strategic—we’re ready to move quickly to preserve value and guide our clients through the process with clarity and control.

We also advise corporate leadership including officers, directors, and shareholders on fiduciary duties and legal exposure in financially troubled companies. We counsel lenders, landlords, licensors, and other stakeholders on their rights and remedies as events unfold.
