Our Bankruptcy & Insolvency litigators help clients investigate, navigate – and win – the disputes that follow financial distress. We engage early to assess risk and shape outcomes at the deal stage, and we litigate aggressively when transactions and restructuring strategies are challenged.

We represent lenders, ad hoc creditor groups, financial institutions, sponsors, and boards and their special committees in high-stakes borrower-lender and creditor-on-creditor disputes nationwide. Our practice is at the forefront of investigations and litigation arising from liability management transactions and other market-shaping restructurings, where we both defend execution decisions and help our clients position deals to withstand scrutiny.

We are also go-to counsel for the most complex distressed D&O and fiduciary duty litigation, defending directors, officers, and sponsors in cases arising from liquidity crises, restructurings, and insolvency proceedings. In major Chapter 11 cases, we defend parties against significant fraudulent transfer and other avoidance claims, as well as equitable subordination, recharacterization, and successor liability theories.

Our Bankruptcy & Insolvency Litigation team handles the full spectrum of insolvency litigation and investigations – both in and out of court and across borders. Clients rely on us to integrate litigation strategy with deal execution, control the narrative in contested situations, and deliver decisive results in the most complex distressed matters, including:

• Contested matters in bankruptcy cases, including cash collateral proceedings and relief from stay
• Adversary proceedings and state court cases involving fraudulent transfers, preferential payments, turnover actions, and related claims
• Successor liability and alter ego claims
• Lender liability disputes arising from complex financings, sale transactions, and bankruptcy proceedings
• Insolvency-related breach of fiduciary duty claims
• Insolvency-related special committee and government investigations, including matters involving alleged mismanagement, malfeasance, financial fraud, and accounting misstatements
