Courtroom Strength with Strategic Business Insight 

Each case reflects the necessity of strategic, creative litigation—whether maximizing estate value, protecting secured interests or innovatively aligning bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy law. 

Our litigators combine deep business litigation know-how, proficiency in valuation and appraisal disputes and mastery of bankruptcy process. Clients trust us for our ingenuity in resolving disputes and our courtroom strength in overcoming obstacles to successful reorganization plans. 

We represent clients in adversary proceedings, contested plan confirmations and motions for relief from stay. Our experience also covers avoidance actions, including preference and fraudulent transfer litigation, as well as pre-petition claims involving complex commercial contracts. We understand that bankruptcy matters often require a global settlement for a consensual plan of reorganization. Our role is to maximize value, deliver strong results and secure the necessary business win, whether through strategic negotiation or aggressive trial advocacy.
