Unofficial Committees of Unsecured Creditors and Litigation/Liquidation Trusts
We represent ad hoc/unofficial groups of unsecured creditors, both before the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings for out-of-court restructurings, in pre-packaged Chapter 11 cases, and throughout Chapter 11 proceedings. The firm also provides pre-petition, out of court committees with the knowledge and expertise needed to maximize value, minimize exposure and restructure their companies without resort to Chapter 11 proceedings.
Our lawyers assist post-confirmation committees and litigation/liquidation trusts in many areas requiring specific expertise in investigations whether domestic or worldwide, both during and after Chapter 11 cases. We are regularly engaged in the recovery of preferences and other avoidance actions, as well as claims reconciliation and objections. Our assistance includes advice on the most effective use of litigation/liquidation trusts to manage and enhance creditor recoveries. We handle all aspects of post-confirmation matters, from confirmation of the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization through the conclusion of recovery efforts and the wind-down of post-confirmation committees.
