Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights - Modrall Sperling Law Firm

People and entities need to protect their personal and business interests and collect what they are owed. Clients at the precipice of our federal bankruptcy laws – whether creditors drawn there by the condition of their debtors, or commercial enterprises in need of protection and/or reorganization – find their situations and circumstances, by their very nature, to be unique and constantly evolving. Our lawyers recognize this fact in representing entities and individuals, creditors’ committees, trustees, and creditors in all types of bankruptcy planning, case evaluation, negotiation, and litigation. Our lawyers strive to provide early and accurate evaluation of the situation, to identify the most efficient path to an early and advantageous resolution, and to vigorously protect the interests of our clients.

Our bankruptcy and creditors’ rights attorneys have represented creditors, creditor committees, and trustees in a broad range of businesses from small sole proprietorships to large national and multinational corporations. We have represented individuals and business entities of virtually every persuasion, and are sensitive and responsive to the situation of each of our clients who entrust us with their work. Our lawyers also engage in commercial litigation arising out of matters such as mortgage foreclosures, the seizure and disposition of collateral, and compliance (or non-compliance) with the Uniform Commercial Code. Because of our extensive and multi-faceted experience, our lawyers are able to offer clients advice and counsel on precautions that may be taken long before a debtor actually defaults or files bankruptcy, as well as strategies and processes to deal with them when they do.
