Insolvency-related Disputes: The matters we litigate in the restructuring context are noteworthy for their size, speed and complexity. We regularly go up against the most skilled adversaries and win; this readiness to go to trial is an invaluable tool in advancing our clients’ objectives.
Internal Investigations and Litigation Valuation: A successful restructuring may turn on the resolution of pending, threatened or anticipated litigation of issues ranging from mass torts to regulatory investigations to other bet-the-company liabilities that are difficult to resolve through the bankruptcy process itself. Our peerless investigative capacity and broad-based litigation experience, coupled with our in-depth understanding of the bankruptcy process, equip us to assess and find a path to resolution for these difficult exposures.
Strategic Advice: We provide boards, special committees and other fiduciaries with the strategic and tactical advice they need to minimize litigation exposure in their restructuring planning.
