The Two Busiest Bankruptcy Venues
About Our Firm
Effective And Efficient, By Design.
As a boutique, we have the ability to be nimble and quick, cutting through the layers of inefficiency a client may encounter at a full-sized law firm. Our partners are bankruptcy litigators with substantial trial experience, having first-chaired the trials of numerous adversary proceedings and contested matters in bankruptcy courts throughout the country and it’s that credible threat of successful litigation that lets us maximize negotiated results for our clients.
Clients are increasingly focused on hiring tier-one lawyers, not paying for the inefficiencies and overhead of a big law firm.
Practice Areas
Six Ways We Get Involved.
Chapter 11 Reorganization & Corporate Restructuring
We guide financially distressed companies through Chapter 11 reorganization and out-of-court restructurings from the first signs of a liquidity crisis through a confirmed plan. Our team works to stabilize operations, managing creditor relationships, and preserving enterprise value under pressure.
Committee Representations
We represent official committees and ad hoc committees. Sometimes, we act as co-counsel because we cover two of the busiest corporate bankruptcy venues in the United States — New York and Houston.
Bankruptcy & Commercial Litigation
We litigate the high-stakes disputes that arise in and around insolvency — adversary proceedings, fraudulent-transfer and preference actions, breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims, and contested contract matters. The ability to litigate in bankruptcy court is what creates real leverage at the negotiating table.
Energy & Oil-and-Gas Restructuring
Rooted in Houston, our firm brings a deep bench to energy-sector insolvency, representing debtors, creditors, committees, and trustees across oil-and-gas exploration, production, oilfield services, and offshore operations. That industry fluency lets us move quickly and advise with authority when the sector turns.
Mass Tort & Complex Bankruptcy
We have played leading roles in some of the most complex mass-tort bankruptcies in the country, representing tort claimants’ committees and ad hoc groups in cases driven by asbestos, product-liability, and talc-related claims. It is a distinctive, high-profile niche that sets our practice apart.
Distressed Asset Sales, Trustee & Fiduciary Services
We handle Section 363 asset sales and serve as counsel to the fiduciaries who carry a case across the finish line — Chapter 7 and liquidating trustees, litigation trustees, and plan administrators, maximizing value from distressed assets long after a plan is confirmed.
