We have developed a niche practice advising and assisting national and international trade suppliers and vendors in a wide variety of areas, including collections, billing and payment disputes, and representation in bankruptcy proceedings.
Because of our breadth of experience, we are able to effectively and efficiently advise our supplier and vendor clients in developing and implementing legal strategies to protect their contract and vendor rights against a company that has filed for bankruptcy
or may file for bankruptcy at some time in the future. Our deep-rooted skillsets allows us to achieve superior results for our supplier and vendor clients, whether they are unsecured creditors or possess potential lien rights or security interests,
and whether their operations are international, national, regional or local. We currently serve as U.S. counsel to several large international trade suppliers and vendors and represent numerous other trade suppliers and vendors on a national and regional
basis.
Drawing on the strength of our commercial litigation practice, we have assisted our trade creditor clients by successfully pursuing judgments in state and federal courts and utilizing various pre-judgment and post-judgment remedies designed
to secure the collection and enforcement of those judgments, such as pre-judgment attachments, garnishments, executions, debtor’s examinations and other proceedings. We have also successfully assisted our trade creditor clients in enforcing
other available remedies, including reclamation rights, setoff rights, rights of recoupment, lien enforcement, assignments for the benefit of creditors, and the commencement of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings.
Our attorneys possess a valuable combination of knowledge, skills and experience in representing trade creditors in connection with claims or liabilities asserted against them in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, including preferences, post-petition
transfer claims, fraudulent transfers, lien avoidance actions and claims objection litigation. As a result of experience in these areas, we are able to successfully eliminate or minimize potential exposure our clients might face in connection with
such claims or liabilities.
We have also advised our trade vendor clients extensively on various credit enhancement issues, such as purchase money security interests, consignments, letters of credit, guaranties and trade credit insurance.
