Provided by Carlton Fields
Our extensive insolvency, reorganization, and restructuring practice includes the representation of foreign and domestic commercial lenders, creditors’ committees, unsecured creditors, Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 trustees, court-appointed receivers, assignees, landlords, bondholders, and purchasers of assets of bankruptcy estates. We have also represented debtors in possession in several large Chapter 11 cases.
Our attorneys have wide-ranging experience with loan workouts, debt restructuring, federal bankruptcy matters, state court insolvency proceedings, and all related litigation and transactional matters, including Chapter 15 proceedings, Section 363 sales, post-petition lending, contested confirmation hearings and objections to discharge. We have defended some of the largest and most complex director and officer claims in Florida and elsewhere, and have prosecuted and defended significant preference and fraudulent transfer claims. Our attorneys have also represented creditors and assignors in many of the most complex assignments for the benefit of creditors around the country.
Members of our group include a SIPC liquidation trustee, business bankruptcy attorneys board certified by the American Board of Certification, and former presidents and board members of local bankruptcy bar associations.
