We represent clients in state and federal court proceedings, Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, debt restructuring, liquidation cases, out-of-court workouts, asset recovery, foreclosure actions and other insolvency proceedings. Our real estate attorneys partner with our bankruptcy, creditors’ rights and financial restructuring attorneys with regard to troubled commercial and residential real estate assets, including such areas as (i) negotiation and documentation of financing agreements, debt restructurings, loan workouts, forbearance agreements, cash collateral arrangements, and debtor-in-possession financing arrangements; (ii) receiverships, prejudgment remedies such as replevin, garnishment, attachment, restraining orders and injunctions, deeds in lieu of foreclosure, judicial and non-judicial foreclosure actions, collection actions and deficiency actions and other commercial litigation matters; (iii) Uniform Commercial Code issues and sales; (iv) complex bankruptcy litigation; (v) fraudulent transfer analysis; (vi) counseling clients with respect to transfers of claims against or interests in bankrupt entities; (vii) formulation, negotiation and promulgation of plans of reorganization and related documents; (viii) reviewing and issuing non-substantive consolidation opinions; and (ix) representing clients with environmental claims in bankruptcy cases.

We also guide buyers past the pitfalls of due diligence, title insurance and contracts associated with buying troubled real estate assets. Once the property is purchased, our real estate legal services extend to real property management issues, including residential, multifamily and commercial leasing matters.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Regardless of their industry focus, clients turn to us for corporate guidance due to our deep experience with entity formation, intellectual property, human resource management, corporate governance, raising capital, and liquidity events. We also assist with specialized industry agreements, including agreements for contract manufacturing, supply, processing, warehousing, brokerage, and distribution.
Mergers and Acquisitions
We have a large and sophisticated mergers and acquisitions practice. We represent both purchasers and sellers in asset and stock acquisition transactions, involving public and privately-held companies. Our business attorneys also work in diverse industries, including software, technology, basic materials, utilities, and consumer products.

Our attorneys work with master developers, other homebuilders and local municipalities to prepare cooperative construction and development agreements concerning the construction and installation of infrastructure (such as roads, water, sewer and other utility facilities). Our real estate attorneys assist homebuilders with the sale of parcels and improved lots through the use of “rolling option” agreements, dual beneficiary trust agreements and other arrangements, including financing arrangements with land bankers, master lenders and other financial entities.

Of course, effective IP protection may mean little without enforcement, and owners of intellectual property are the ones who must enforce their rights. We can help you enforce your intellectual property rights and defend them against attacks from others. Our intellectual property attorneys have successfully litigated significant intellectual property cases involving patent and copyright infringement; trade secret misappropriation; trade dress and trademark infringement; nondisclosure and noncompetition agreements; computer hardware and software licenses; cyber piracy; domain names; software piracy; false advertising; e-commerce issues; commercial disputes over intellectual property; and unfair competition, patent misuse and patent-related antitrust allegations.

Our construction legal services also include assistance with strategic planning; selecting appropriate project delivery systems; contract negotiation and regulatory compliance; permitting; bid processes; and employment issues related to construction.

We assist renewable energy project owners with transmission and interconnection issues, financing and permitting, and the purchase and sale of environmental attributes, such as renewable energy certificates (REC’s).

We also handle appeals of administrative and judicial actions and challenges to agency rules and regulations, orders and permitting decisions.

Our litigation skills extend to virtually every area important to business, including product liability, business torts, insurance coverage and bad faith, environment and natural resources, employment, medical negligence defense, personal injury and wrongful death, professional liability, real estate, securities, intellectual property, and tax controversies.
Medical Malpractice
Our team is adept at creating possibilities out of complexities in tort and insurance litigation. We represent clients in a wide variety of personal injury and business tort actions ranging from individual negligence actions to complex multiparty and class action litigation. Asbestos, product liability, toxic torts, and medical malpractice encompass a significant part of our tort litigation practice. In addition, we have extensive experience in handling indemnity claims, insurance recovery claims, bad faith, tender and coverage disputes, and subrogation and lien claims.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Fennemore trust and estate lawyers have served as counsel in significant matters involving defense of fiduciaries’ conduct, indemnification of fiduciaries, removal of fiduciaries and breach of fiduciary duties. Realizing the difficult nature of estate and trust cases, we advise fiduciaries with respect to beneficiary communications and appropriate courses of conduct and action to avoid potential litigation.
Wills
We represent licensed fiduciaries, banks and trust companies, trustees, personal representatives, heirs, and beneficiaries in a variety of trust and estate-related litigation, with cases involving fiduciary duty claims, claims of elder abuse and vulnerable adult statute violations, will contests, removal of trustees or personal representatives, and challenges to annual accountings. In some instances, during the administration of an estate or trust, it is necessary to engage in civil litigation to protect or recover assets, and our experienced litigation team is able to assist with all aspects of such cases.
Trusts
On July 1, 2022, Fennemore formally combined with Wendel Rosen, LLP, one of the oldest and largest full-service business law firms in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay area.
