Protecting Creditor Interests Nationwide

Sheppard’s Bankruptcy and Restructuring team is widely recognized for representing official committees of unsecured creditors in major Chapter 11 cases.

We advise vendors, landlords, employees, bondholders, lenders and other stakeholders serving on committees, guiding them through fiduciary duties, negotiations and litigation when necessary. Our experience includes formal insolvency proceedings, Chapter 15 cases and out-of-court restructurings. 

We also represent secured lenders, bondholder groups, indenture trustees and ad hoc committees in high-value disputes. Our work spans workouts, debt restructurings, distressed asset sales, bankruptcy litigation and appeals. With deep industry knowledge in healthcare, real estate, aerospace, biotech and media, we deliver advice that reflects both market realities and legal requirements.
