Overview
The Bankruptcy, Restructuring & Creditors’ Rights practice group at Pashman Stein Walder Hayden regularly advises clients across the country in complex financial restructuring and bankruptcy related transactions and litigation matters. Our seasoned attorneys work closely with our clients to understand their businesses, concerns and objectives, and then develop practical strategies to meet those objectives in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Over the years, our attorneys have served as trusted counsel in a broad range of distressed and bankruptcy situations for a wide variety of parties, including debtors, official and unofficial committees, secured and unsecured creditors, indenture trustees, agents, collateral managers, court appointed trustees, lessors and lessees of real and personal property, parties to executory contracts, trade creditors, critical vendors, parties in avoidance actions, and other significant parties. Our attorneys also advise clients in their dealings with distressed counterparties prior to bankruptcy, in order to mitigate risk and best position them if a bankruptcy filing occurs.
We have extensive, specialized experience advising professional service firms (such as accounting firms, financial advisory firms, and investment banks) on bankruptcy retention and fee-related issues, including serving as counsel to such firms as to bankruptcy related policies and procedures, risk mitigation, forms and documentation, and appearing in court on their behalf.
Given the firm’s depth and breadth of bankruptcy and litigation experience (and former judges now practicing with the firm), we are also well-suited to serve as counsel to litigation and liquidation trusts, as special litigation counsel and conflicts counsel, and to advise court appointed examiners, trustees, and receivers.
When appropriate, the group collaborates closely with lawyers in other practice groups, drawing on the firm’s deep bench of experienced litigators, and leveraging the abilities of lawyers who specialize in other relevant practice areas (including corporate, real estate, construction, employment, environmental, and others) to provide comprehensive and experienced counsel to our clients.
