Foley & Lardner LLP

Creditor Committee Representation

Foley’s Bankruptcy & Business Reorganizations Practice is best distinguished by our representation of dozens of official committees in complex insolvency proceedings across the country and in almost every industry.

Protecting and promoting creditors’ rights in insolvency is a particular strength of our practice. We represent individual creditors in complex restructuring and insolvency litigation matters and counsel clients regarding both proactive and responsive solutions in distressed environments. In addition, we are often selected to serve as counsel to the official committee of unsecured creditors in Chapter 11 cases. We coordinate a constant flow of information to our committee constituency, empowering them to make fully informed decisions in the course of such cases.

A successful result in a committee case often depends upon industry-specific knowledge, or experience in a relevant non-bankruptcy area of law. We regularly draw on our firm’s experience in relevant, non-bankruptcy disciplines, such as real estate, tax, ERISA, labor and employment, securities, and finance. In addition, we are renowned for our use of sophisticated information-sharing technology with clients and creditor constituencies, providing cost-savings as well as easier access and more thorough and detailed communication about issues with our clients.
