When a borrower, business partner, or project participant fails financially, the immediate concern is practical: how much money can our clients recover, and how quickly?
We represent the parties seeking recovery — lenders, creditors, sureties, landlords, and guarantors — and build strategies focused on recovery and protecting our clients’ assets, not unnecessary procedural complexity. We also guide clients through their own financial restructuring when a negotiated resolution will preserve more value than a courtroom battle. We also represent trustees pursuing affirmative recoveries and defend claims against creditors, directors, and officers in adversary proceedings initiated by trustees.
Our work covers the full range of financial distress situations: out-of-court negotiations and payment restructuring, Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, asset sales, priority disputes, defense against clawback claims, and enforcement of guarantees and indemnity agreements. Because so many financial failures in our core industries trace back to a defaulted contract or a bonded project, we bring a deep understanding of construction, lien, and trust-fund law that general bankruptcy attorneys typically lack — an advantage that consistently turns contested claims into real recoveries.
