Every workout situation is unique to a particular client’s circumstances, needs and objectives. But the overall goals are the same: get deals closed, projects built and businesses back to profitability. Our attorneys listen carefully and develop creative solutions to mitigate losses while maintaining or generating other options.
With our nationally recognized practices, including real estate and financial services, we understand the needs of lenders and borrowers, the broader economic issues and the opportunities that exist as a result. As part of our integrated approach to client services, our public finance attorneys collaborate with fellow attorneys from our securities, taxation, bankruptcy and corporate practices to help our clients maintain or regain their economic success.
The best outcomes usually come from successful negotiations. We’ve earned a reputation for being effective, efficient negotiators in workouts of troubled public and private financings, often avoiding litigation proceedings. When interested parties are too far apart, or if a settlement breaks down, the practice works closely with our experienced litigation team to protect and defend clients.
Our lawyers also enforce and restructure troubled investments and loans, and manage foreclosures and post-closing and title disputes. We’re experts in bankruptcy, bankruptcy avoidance and environmental permitting issues. We advise clients on distressed company lending, investments, and acquisitions, matching client needs with opportunities in the marketplace. We work well as part of a larger team, interacting effectively with public officials, architects, engineers, public relations consultants, and lobbyists, as well as other lawyers and consultants.
