Fiduciary Representation

Not all insolvency proceedings involve federal bankruptcy cases. We also represent clients and fiduciaries in many non-bankruptcy insolvency proceedings, including assignments for the benefit of creditors and receiverships. Indeed, we are often called upon to represent creditors seeking the appointment of receivers, and the receivers themselves, in hotly contested matters involving the maintenance and potential liquidation of valuable assets. We have particular experience in related insolvency litigation, including fraudulent conveyance litigation, directors and officers liability litigation, and preference litigation.
