Our Finance, Restructuring and Bankruptcy lawyers represent banks and other institutional and private lenders and borrowers with respect to commercial and real estate financing, including equity joint ventures. We also serve clients confronted with workout, reorganization, and liquidation issues, bringing a wealth of experience in the representation of creditors, debtors, trustees, committees and receivers. To enhance our effectiveness, we take a multidisciplinary approach by drawing upon the extensive experience and capabilities of our other practice groups.

Creditor clients normally face two primary concerns: getting paid and reducing future risk. Our lawyers address those concerns by applying a variety of creative and effective strategies aimed at risk management and curbing operational and financial mismanagement. These strategies may include taking or augmenting security measures, creating strategic alliances among creditors, negotiating favorable loan terms, and presenting and overseeing plans of reorganization. They provide transactional services and litigation support when confronted with the wide variety of related legal issues—including business, finance, real estate, construction and energy—that often come into play in financing, restructuring and bankruptcy matters
