Bankruptcy & Creditors’ Rights

Bankruptcy and restructuring counsel that enforce creditors’ rights and deals with bankruptcy-related issues.

Practice Area Introduction

Our Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights team moves quickly in bankruptcy cases, out-of-court restructurings, and other litigation to protect and enforce creditors’ rights and deal with bankruptcy and potential insolvency-related issues. We also proactively enforce and defend creditors’ rights and remedies outside of bankruptcy.

Our Expertise

Our practice represents the full spectrum of creditors and other interested parties in bankruptcy cases, business restructurings and insolvency proceedings, including Chapters 7, 11 and 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. We serve secured and unsecured creditors, lenders, trade claimants, landlords, suppliers, and strategic buyers of distressed assets. We regularly protect and enforce creditors’ rights in litigation.

Our litigation experience in bankruptcy cases includes defending clients against preference and fraudulent transfer claims under the Bankruptcy Code. We guide clients through plan negotiations, assumption and rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases, claim allowance, and sale processes under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. We also represent creditors outside of bankruptcy, litigating payment disputes and enforcing judgments in state and federal courts throughout Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.  

Our Approach

Financial stress creates narrow windows for decision-making. Every engagement begins with a clear map of the client’s objective. We assemble, where appropriate, cross-disciplinary teams from finance, real estate, corporate, and trial to analyze options and sequence steps that reflect the client’s timetable and risk tolerance. Because many restructuring timelines are compressed, our team focuses on responsiveness, clear communication, and cost control so decision-makers can act with confidence.

The firm’s reach is regional and national, and we routinely coordinate with local counsel in key venues to move quickly and efficiently as needed to protect and enforce our client’s rights and achieve our client’s objective.
