Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights
Summary
The firm’s bankruptcy bench has collectively experienced virtually every facet of bankruptcy representation, including engagements for creditors, debtors, panel trustees, liquidating trustees, unsecured creditor committees spanning the gamut of each primary chapter of the BK Code including Chapter 7, 11, 12, and 13. In the adversary arena, the team has litigated — both offensively and defensively — discharge and dischargeability objections, plan confirmation issues, “claw-back” actions to avoid fraudulent and preferential transfers, and an array of contested matters like stay relief motions and claims objections.
