Overview:

The Bankruptcy & Creditors' Rights Group at Goldberg Kohn represents participants in significant bankruptcy cases and out-of-court workouts.  Such representations have included secured and unsecured creditors, Chapter 11 debtors, asset purchasers, equity committees, indenture trustees and liquidating trustees.  Our bankruptcy lawyers are intimately familiar with the nuances of loan documentation, credit policies and the politics of syndicated loans and inter-class issues.  Our reputation is for finding pragmatic and efficient solutions by agreement when we can, and by court order when we cannot.

We typically begin with an evaluation of our client's options, based on a careful document review, focused legal analysis and our depth and breadth of experience in hundreds of past cases.  We are candid with our clients concerning possible outcomes, so we can assist our clients in making the best realistic choices.  Our goal is to develop agreements that lead to favorable results, avoiding the need for costly litigation.  When matters proceed to bankruptcy court, though, we act quickly and effectively.  We have successfully litigated many contested cash collateral and adequate protection disputes, post-petition financing contests, preference and fraudulent conveyance suits and valuation trials.
