Informal Debt Restructuring

Bankruptcy is not always the first or best option for debt restructuring. The Firm provides consultation and advice in restructuring debts and reorganizing assets outside of formal bankruptcy proceedings. The Firm's expertise in the bankruptcy setting has proven invaluable in enabling the Firm to obtain consensual workouts with creditors without the difficulty and expense of a bankruptcy proceeding. Institutional lenders often perceive consensual workouts as preferable to a formal bankruptcy and the Firm has found informal reorganization to be successful in given cases.

Bankruptcy Representation

Sometimes formal bankruptcy is unavoidable or preferable. The Firm represents debtors, creditors, creditors' committees, third parties (including purchasers and funders), and trustees in connection with Chapter 7 (liquidation) and Chapter 11 (liquidation or reorganization) cases throughout Texas and across the country. Members of the Firm have served as examiners, receivers, trustees, escrow agents, and liquidating agents in bankruptcy cases. The Firm has handled both small and large cases in all areas of business, including real estate, oil and gas, manufacturing, retail, wholesale, construction, technology, telecommunication, healthcare and transportation.

The Firm has substantial experience in handling all of these matters which generally arise in bankruptcy proceedings of all sizes. In addition, a bankruptcy proceedings often involve matters outside the exclusive province of bankruptcy, such as: oil and gas, real estate, corporate matters, transactions, regulatory matters, estate planning, tax, and litigation.
