Foley & Lardner LLP

Asset Acquisition

Foley’s Bankruptcy & Business Reorganizations attorneys have a broad range of experience with developing and executing the strategic sale or acquisition of distressed assets.
Our Bankruptcy & Business Reorganizations attorneys regularly advise lenders, borrowers, debtors, and unrelated potential purchasers on the sale or acquisition of distressed assets. Whether the sale takes place in or outside of the Chapter 11 process, we have a broad range of experience with developing and executing the strategic sale of assets.

We have significant experience navigating complex commercial real estate bankruptcy issues, including use of cash collateral, adequate protection disputes, relief from the automatic stay, cramdown plans, collateral valuation disputes, and related litigation.

We work with you to identify potential acquisition targets, develop competitive bids in an auction atmosphere, navigate the sometimes-complicated requirements of a sale within the United States Bankruptcy Code, and otherwise assist you in realizing a deal that is both strategically beneficial and legally sound. In connection with the acquisition of distressed assets, we have developed a nationally recognized talent for negotiating the assumption and assignment of executory contracts and unexpired leases.
