Bankruptcy Litigation

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.
