Secured and unsecured creditor representation in insolvency

The Firm has vast experience in all facets of representation of secured and unsecured lenders with respect to loan enforcement of troubled commercial loans, including Chapter 11s, receiverships, forbearance agreements, foreclosures, confirmation of foreclosures, suits against guarantors (and related fraudulent transfer litigation) and related valuation issues. Within Chapter 11, our experience includes stay and dismissal litigation, 363 sales (and lenders' rights with respect to credit bidding), dealings with creditors committees, plans of reorganization and liquidation, structured dismissals, defense of lien avoidance actions and all other aspects of secured creditor representation in bankruptcy. We also have significant experience in the defense of lender liability claims, whether asserted inside or outside of bankruptcy. In addition, we have routinely represented originating banks and participants in interbrain disputes
