In any
business it can be very challenging when your client, your customer, your
insured, your borrower, your lessee, your sub-contractor, your vendor or any
other business "partner" files for bankruptcy.
Suddenly,
new rules apply to your business relationship because you and your partner now
have different rights and obligations, vis-à-vis each other. Successfully
navigating this change of landscape is critical to making the most of a
difficult situation. Marshall Dennehey's bankruptcy attorneys have the
experience to help you do just that.
Drawing
on over 25 years of experience handling various bankruptcy matters, our
attorneys look for the best solutions to ensure that your interests are
protected and that you are able to maximize your opportunities in any
bankruptcy situation.
There is
no limit to the types of industries or entities that bankruptcy can affect. As
such our bankruptcy attorneys represent a diverse spectrum of clients. These
include businesses of all types: individual creditors, commercial creditors,
banks, mortgage servicers, auto finance companies, debt collectors, car-rental
companies, taxing authorities, municipal entities, insurance carriers,
insurance brokers, construction companies, and corporate directors and officers.
