Provided by Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP
Greenberg Glusker bankruptcy attorneys shape business solutions specific to each client’s concerns.
Our counsel ranges from early stage evaluations, transactional advice and pre-petition planning to out-of-court reorganizations, chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganizations and asset sales. Our broad client base and years of experience litigating in the bankruptcy courts of Southern California make us uniquely suited to efficiently advise on bankruptcy-related issues.
We represent the many parties involved in reorganization and liquidation bankruptcies, such as:
- Debtors and Creditors
- Equity Holders
- Individuals and Guarantors
- Creditors' Committees
- Landlords
- Secured Creditors
- Purchasers and Sellers of Distressed Assets
- Indenture Trustees
- Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 Trustees
On the Debtor side, our practice emphasis is in representing Southern California middle-market companies and transitioning “failed’’ businesses into operating enterprises. We work to preserve value for clients and help them achieve their operational goals.
We assist company principals whose businesses are in distress in protecting their individual interests, including protecting their equity interests in their businesses, responding to and defending against director and officer claims, and providing advice if claims are made or threatened against them as guarantors.
