We regularly represent unsecured creditors' committees and bondholder committees in Chapter 11 cases, as well as ad hoc committees in out-of-court restructurings and workouts.
In committee representation, we have been actively involved in every stage of the reorganization process, including the formulation and preparation of plans of reorganization, the negotiation and establishment of asset sale procedures, the resolution of objections to claims, and the prosecution of avoidance actions (preferences and fraudulent transfers) and other bankruptcy litigation. We approach committee representation as a consensus-building process for negotiating solutions, but are prepared to pursue creditors' remedies aggressively when circumstances require litigation. With our breadth and depth of experience, committees can rely upon us for advice in various other substantive areas of law in addition to bankruptcy representation.
