About this firm

SULLIVAN HAZELTINE ALLINSON LLC is a boutique law firm dedicated to serving our clients' business litigation needs. Our core practice focuses on representing parties in interest in commercial bankruptcy cases pending before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In addition, the firm handles business and commercial litigation in the Court of Chancery and Superior Court, ranging from contract disputes to collection matters to D&O litigation.

Whatever business issues bring you before the Delaware federal and state courts, we can help you obtain an expedient and successful resolution.

SULLIVAN • HAZELTINE • ALLINSON LLC was formed in January 2008 by the merger of William D. Sullivan LLC (which opened in 2006) and the Law Offices of William A. Hazeltine LLC (founded in 2005). Between them, Bill, Bill and Zeke have over 50 years experience in the Delaware Bar handling a wide range of matters, including significant experience practicing in large commercial law firms. We provide our clients with large firm experience within a small firm structure.

The firm practices primarily in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, where we focus on creditors' rights, representing creditors' committees and all types of secured and unsecured creditors, including trade vendors, lenders, landlords, sureties, tort claimants, PACA and reclamation creditors and purchasers of assets in bankruptcy proceedings. Our clients are small businesses, municipalities, and large corporations, including individual corporate officers and directors. In addition to pursuing our clients' claims against Chapter 11 debtors, we prosecute and defend adversary actions, including preference and fraudulent conveyance litigation.

We likewise advise and represent businesses with respect to restructuring and bankruptcy options, including the filing of Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 proceedings. Our recent representations of Chapter 11 debtors include Liberty Brands LLC (lead counsel), IdleAire Technologies Corporation (Delaware counsel), NexPak Corporation (lead counsel), Moll Industries, Inc. (lead counsel) and Garnet BioTherapeutics (lead counsel).

We also handle commercial litigation matters for our clients in all Delaware Courts, including the United States District Court and Delaware's Court of Chancery and Superior Court.

    Zeke is a top-notch lawyer in his field. He is thorough, creative and responsive. I consider him one of the "go to" contacts for chapter 11 filings in Delaware, and would not hesitate to work with him and with his firm on any chapter 11 matter.
