Bankruptcy & Corporate Restructuring
Practice overview
Clark Hill specializes in bankruptcy, business reorganization, and insolvency-related matters. We regularly represent parties in bankruptcy and other judicial proceedings as well as in out-of-court workouts across the country. We represent debtors, unsecured creditors' committees, lenders and other secured parties, bondholders, vendors and trade creditors, asset purchasers, insurance carriers, landlords, equipment lessors, and liquidating agents. The industries in which Clark Hill attorneys have provided representation cover the spectrum of business enterprises, including the automotive, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, aviation, and real estate industries.
Whether representing a troubled company, creditors' committee, secured creditor, or other party in interest, we are adept at guiding our clients through the reorganization, workout, or liquidation process. We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our attorneys look at the specific and often unique problems and issues facing a company and its constituents, and we work quickly and diligently to analyze the legal, financial and operational issues. Combining that understanding with an approach which is both creative and pragmatic, we develop and implement well-tailored solutions to support going-concern viability or, in a liquidation scenario, the highest and best recovery for creditors. We always strive for an appropriate balance between the aggressive pursuit of value and cost-effectiveness.
Whether a specific representation is transactional in nature, such as the purchase or sale of assets, or litigation-oriented, such as the prosecution defense of a fraudulent transfer or preference action, our attorneys bring exceptional dexterity, sophistication and knowledge to achieve the best possible results for our clients. Our attorneys also have a substantial network of contacts from which to bring other valuable resources to bear, including lenders, investors, investment bankers, financial consultants, real estate consultants, and liquidation specialists.
