THE INSOLVENCY AND CREDITORS' RIGHTS

Our Insolvency and Creditors' Rights attorneys work with clients in sophisticated corporate restructurings and insolvency proceedings.  We understand the ever-changing economic cycles, and the related challenges of business and industry in today's competitive marketplace.

We advocate for secured and unsecured creditors and lenders, landlords, developers, contractors and trade creditors.  Our attorneys also represent companies acquiring assets in bankruptcy sales.  We have developed a particular focus on insolvency issues relating to owners, general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, real estate issues in insolvency proceedings and the defense of preference claims.

Our work with clients seeking protection of their rights often goes beyond the bankruptcy code and bankruptcy court; we represent both borrowers and lenders in out-of-court reorganizations, negotiating intricate workout transactions and purchasing assets from distressed sellers.  We frequently counsel our clients on matters requiring expertise in structuring complex transactions for securitized loans for "bankruptcy remote" purposes.  We also analyze and structure settlements in a manner that assures the best protections for our clients.more

Whether you are purchasing assets through an insolvency proceeding, structuring securitized transactions, defending claims brought by a debtor in possession, trustee or receiver, seeking to maximize protections as you structure settlements or looking to defend your rights in preference and fraudulent transfer actions, we offer an aggressive legal approach.  Our team has the experience to know when to take bold strokes and when to negotiate a compromise in the best interests of our clients.

We leverage the know-how of our 150+ partners throughout New England in areas such as real estate, commercial finance, employment law, intellectual property and construction.  Our multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving translates into comprehensive solutions for our clients facing insolvency and creditors' rights challenges.
