Creditors
Secured Creditors. We are often involved in the representation of secured creditors. Our lawyers have extensive experience in litigating relief from stay and cash collateral issues, and regularly draft and negotiate plans of reorganization. Our lawyers have represented secured creditors in negotiating and advancing competing or "hostile" reorganization plans. We have defended secured creditors in bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy litigation involving lender liability issues,
including suits filed under the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act. Unsecured Creditors. We have extensive experience in representing unsecured creditors in bankruptcy proceedings, including in defending preference and fraudulent conveyance actions brought by debtors. In addition, we regularly provide practical advice to clients experiencing difficulty with customers who are not paying invoices in a timely manner. Specifically, we counsel the credit managers of our larger corporate clients and the operations/business managers of our smaller clients in addressing problem accounts among their customers and protecting themselves before a formal bankruptcy is even filed.
