About

Provided by Sills Cummis & Gross P.C.

The Creditors' Rights and Bankruptcy Reorganization Practice has broad experience in all aspects of bankruptcy, reorganization and creditors' rights matters, including complex litigation cases. This includes representing debtors, official and unofficial committees, secured and unsecured creditors, trustees and other parties in interest in out-of-court restructurings and in Chapter 11 reorganization cases. The firm's attorneys have structured “pre-negotiated” plans of reorganization to expedite the Chapter 11 process. They also have extensive experience representing creditors in Uniform Commercial Code lien enforcement issues in state and federal courts. They also provide advice and counsel to distressed public and private companies, their boards, bank groups, receivers and other fiduciaries with regard to proposed financings, corporate transactions and real estate acquisitions.

While attempting to resolve matters through negotiation whenever possible, members of the Creditors' Rights and Bankruptcy Reorganization Team are routinely involved in litigating complex matters in bankruptcy courts, including valuation questions, fraudulent transfer and preference actions, DIP financing and use of cash collateral, adequate protection issues and contested confirmation hearings. The Team is also adept at state and federal court litigation involving the enforcement of creditors' rights under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and state receivership laws.
