Alissa Nann concentra a sua prática em falências e reestruturações empresariais, oferecendo soluções comerciais práticas para entidades e indivíduos afetados por situações de dificuldade financeira. Ela representa todas as partes envolvidas numa falência — devedores, credores e comissões de credores, credores garantidos, fiduciários patrimoniais e compradores de ativos em dificuldades — tanto em processos de recuperação judicial (capítulo 11) como em acordos extrajudiciais. Tem uma vasta experiência em litígios relacionados com falências, tanto nos EUA como a nível internacional, incluindo a representação de liquidatários em processos de falência ao abrigo do capítulo 15, em litígios transfronteiriços envolvendo questões de fraude e insolvência e na localização e recuperação de ativos relacionados. Alissa também aconselha empresas sobre alternativas à falência, tais como vendas privadas, dissoluções e liquidações estruturadas.
Prior to joining Foley, Alissa served as a law clerk to the Hon. Shelley C. Chapman (ret.), United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Southern District of New York.
