The attorneys who comprise our Loan Workout Practice have extensive experience working with business owners, lenders, and borrowers during healthy economic times and financial downturns. Our attorneys regularly advise on sound lending practices, distressed loans, and regulatory requirements. To that end, they help clients develop and implement successful risk management practices designed to appropriately restructure distressed commercial real estate loans, leases, and other transactions.
When it is determined that a workout would not be appropriate under the circumstances, our attorneys advise in connection with judicial and non-judicial foreclosure actions, enforcement of guarantees, injunctions, attachments and receiverships, assignments for the benefit of creditors, and bankruptcy. We represent debtors, creditors, bidders at auction, and creditors’ committees in all aspects of bankruptcy matters.
