Bankruptcy + Restructuring

Trusted counsel in all aspects of insolvency and restructuring, representing clients across all parts of the capital structure.

Bankruptcy + Restructuring Counsel

Clients impacted by distressed situations rely on our know-how to enforce their rights and maximize value.

Our deep understanding of pre- and post-insolvency issues from every stakeholder’s perspective enables us to help our clients prevent and prepare for a financial crisis and, when needed, serve as trusted advisors to respond effectively to financial distress.

We provide clients with creative solutions in bankruptcy and restructuring matters that prioritize recovery or return on investment. Because our bankruptcy team works closely with our finance and corporate attorneys, we understand the underpinnings of financial and corporate transactions and offer tools to reduce crises or prevent them from arising.

Chambers USA notes that clients praise the team for “outstanding service” and “responsiveness, timeliness and accuracy.” Several of our attorneys, in offices ranging from Texas and Louisiana to Delaware and Georgia to New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Virginia, are ranked in Chambers, and four of our attorneys are Fellows of the American College of Bankruptcy.
