Corporate Restructuring and Bankruptcy

Overview
Garfunkel Wild’s Corporate Restructuring and Bankruptcy Practice Group has represented key constituents in many of the healthcare sector’s largest and most complex reorganizations, including the Debtor representation of multiple hospital systems as well as one of the largest not-for-profit social services agency to ever navigate the chapter 11 process.  Our attorneys in this Group pride themselves on developing practical and innovative solutions to the complex and unique issues which often arise when a healthcare provider is faced with financial extremis.  Our expertise goes well beyond the healthcare and not-for-profit sectors, however, and our attorneys have broad experience working with sizeable businesses in the real estate, manufacturing, service, technology, and retail sectors as they restructure their affairs either informally or in the context of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 
The Corporate Restructuring and Bankruptcy Practice Group advises our clients in the following representative areas:
 
  • Preparing and prosecuting Chapter 11 cases for corporate debtors including not-for-profit hospitals and other institutions
  • Providing advice and assistance with asset acquisitions, claims trading, exempt property and asset protection issues, and enforcement of shareholders’ and creditors’ rights

  • Obtaining debtor-in-possession financing
  • Defending against preference and fraudulent conveyance actions
  • Advising about general business practices for debtors-in-possession and troubled companies
