The Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights Practice involves the representation of creditors, debtors, landlords, asset sellers and purchasers, trustees, and committees in bankruptcy courts across the United States, and in analogous proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. Our attorneys also represent creditors in asserting their rights in state and federal courts across the country.

Firm members have been involved in the representation of committees in major Chapter 11 cases, in industries as diverse as publishing, arms manufacturing and airlines. Nelson Mullins represented the Committee of Unsecured Creditors in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, involving 26 golf based resorts, $1.5 billion in assets and $1.1 billion in liabilities. The unsecured creditors received 100 percent payment in that case. Our attorneys also represented committee members in a national case involving $1 billion in senior debt, plus trade and asbestos-related environmental liabilities, as well as a case that involved a publicly held diaper manufacturer with $2 billion in liabilities.

Our attorneys have been actively involved in drafting or commenting upon Local Rules for the Bankruptcy Courts for the Northern District of Georgia and the District of South Carolina as well as the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. Nelson Mullins' attorneys currently assist the federal trial courts with the pilot electronic filing and document retrieval system.
