We have extensive experience in representing companies and other organizations and preserving the interest of equity holders and other constituents. We provide pragmatic business advice to help you decide what objectives are appropriate and then help you achieve those objectives. Our attorneys break down the issues in a way that makes sense from the business perspective, not just the legal perspective.
We have seen the repeated success of out-of-court workouts. However, if bankruptcy is the preferred or only solution, we have represented debtors prior to and during Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 bankruptcies. We have also helped small businesses navigate through Subchapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code. Much also assists with assignments for the benefit of creditors and receiverships.
Creditors rely on our assistance to help structure their rights and remedies both before there are issues and when a default is imminent or has occurred. Much attorneys use their experience and knowledge to help creditors maximize their recovery and achieve other goals as quickly and efficiently as possible. Whether it is through a bankruptcy, real estate foreclosure, Article 9 Uniform Commercial Code sale, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or litigation in state and federal court, we have the necessary experience to guide creditors through the process.
In addition to our representation of debtors, creditors, trustees, assignees, and receivers, we guide buyers and sellers of distressed assets and debt, involuntary petitioners, lessors and lessees, and plaintiffs and defendants in avoidance actions and other business disputes.
Resolving challenging financial situations with a focus on value ... and more.
A value-based approach is consistent with how we run our law firm. For distressed companies especially, quickly communicating the business options we see and how to creatively streamline the process are a must. We’re nimble and offer a rate structure that aligns with your short- and long-term plans and objectives. Just as important, we share your concerns about your business and reputation and are known for treating everyone in our client companies with the respect they deserve.
Expect answers from the very beginning.
Our greatest source of new clients is referrals from current and past clients. One reason is that we don’t pull punches when giving advice. We understand the role that experience plays in tailoring the right path for each client — knowing the law isn’t enough. In addition, we have grit and are comfortable being in the trenches with you.
Spotlighting issues early to avoid financial distress.
In addition to our work with financially troubled businesses, we often work with Much Corporate & Finance attorneys to proactively guide financially healthy clients. We uncover potential issues that when addressed early may help prevent financial problems down the road. We are keenly aware of the signs and circumstances that may trigger financial challenges, and we frequently help revise and renegotiate agreements and evaluate financing options — all to minimize distress down the road.
