Corporate and large personal bankruptcy actions are
increasingly complex, often encompassing securities,
criminal, and international law. We generally represent
creditors (banks, finance companies, leasing subsidiaries)
in efforts to retain their leverage and the enforceability
of payment and covenant terms as a debtor seeks debt
protection under Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 reorganizations
and Chapter 7 liquidations, including:
- Retaining non-dischargeability of debt
- Gaining exemption from an automatic stay
- Enforcing secured creditor rights
- Securing preferential transfers
- Managing claims, and preparing claims for administrative
expenses
Because of our creditor representation capabilities, we also provide counsel
to creditor committees
and bankruptcy trustees.
