  • Our firm represents debtors, creditors, trustees, asset purchasers, and all other parties involved in bankruptcy, restructuring, and other debtor-creditor matters. Whether administering a chapter 11 bankruptcy case, negotiating a refinancing of a loan facility, or litigating under a secured note, our attorneys bring sophisticated analysis and practical insights to address our client's problems. We take pride in being familiar with all aspects of financial distress and using that perspective to help our clients achieve their goals.

  • Things are harder when there is not enough money to go around. Our attorneys love the challenge. Helping a company on the brink of closing its doors stay in business or a creditor obtain a recovery when all hope seemed lost is what makes our practice rewarding.

  • We have two objectives in every matter we take on:

    First, to provide our clients the absolute best representation we can. And second, to do so in a cost-effective manner. We believe that our experience representing all the different parties involved in the bankruptcy, restructuring, and distressed debt process gives us the perspective necessary to implement cutting edge solutions and strategies for our clients without breaking the bank. We would be thrilled to put our passion and experience to work for you.
