Assignment for the benefit of creditors

Practices

Creditors’ Committees

Protecting and preserving creditors’ rights in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings is a hallmark of our practice. We draw on our substantial knowledge of the business and operational challenges confronting debtors to develop practical reorganization and recovery plans.

Maximizing recovery for creditors requires not only strategic legal counsel, but also sound business advice. Our primary focus is on providing the responsive, value-added service needed to help clients identify and pursue opportunities following the completion of complex restructuring proceedings.   

We represent clients across manufacturing, construction, retail, energy, real estate and various other industries and regularly draw on our firmwide resources to provide counsel on related areas of law such as tax, labor and employment, securities and finance.
