Restructuring and Bankruptcy

Our professionals are experienced in all types and phases of restructuring, bankruptcy, and other special situations. We have advised companies, secured lenders, creditors’ committees, bondholders, purchasers or investors, and other parties in connection with turnarounds, refinancings, distressed sale transactions, and Chapter 11 reorganizations.

Leading our practice are three managing directors who have more than 70 years of collective experience in addressing the strategic, financial, operational and legal issues associated with the reorganization or disposition of troubled enterprises. They have worked on over 100 engagements involving publicly and privately held businesses throughout the United States with indebtedness ranging from $10 million to over $5 billion.

Complementing our capabilities in the restructuring and bankruptcy area is our extensive experience in strategic planning, valuations and fairness opinions, mergers and acquisitions, and debt and equity financing. We apply these disciplines depending on our client’s role (debtor, creditor, or other party), the setting (out of court, pre-packaged Chapter 11 case, or full insolvency or reorganization case), and end goals of the assignment (stand-alone reorganization, recapitalization or refinancing, or sale).
