Bankruptcy
The bulk purchase or sale of secured debt is a common transaction these days. In one matter, our client (who had purchased troubled debt) was a secured creditor in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case where the validity and enforceability of its mortgage was being challenged in an adversary proceeding. In addition, the debtor-in-possession was attempting to “prime” our client’s mortgage with unfavorable DIP financing. In yet another related state court proceeding, we pursued the guaran- tors who responded with a number of lender liability defenses. We were able to defeat the priming lien motion, gain the upper hand in the adversary proceeding and, during jury selection in the state court action, were able to reach a global settlement that resulted in our client achieving a profitable recovery on this purchased troubled debt.
Foreclosure
Whether a matter involves any form of bankruptcy proceeding, including complex Chapter 11 cases, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies in state court, the defense of lender liability claims, troubled debt restructures, real property foreclosures, land title disputes, realizations upon personal property collateral under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or any combination of these proceedings, we have the knowledge and experience to protect our clients' interests and to assist our clients in achieving their business objectives. Senior secured debt, sub-debt or unsecured debt, we bring years of experience and good judgment to any matter.
Tax Law
It is working intimately with our clients to identify their personal and business objectives and needs, to tailor our resources to meet their goals and to ensure that at the end of the day, the tax results are consistent with our clients’ business and personal desires. We have the experience and the track record to assist our clients in every phase of tax law. We work closely with all of the attorneys in the Firm in furtherance of our clients’ objectives and goals. Our commitment is to serve our clients on an integrated and multi-disciplinary basis...
