Bankruptcy Litigation
Our team handles a broad range of bankruptcy litigation matters, including automatic stay issues, issues concerning the sale and disposition of significant assets, claim objections, plan objections, estimation proceedings, preference and fraudulent conveyance actions, adequacy of disclosure statements, turnover matters, approvals of settlements, and bankruptcy court jurisdiction and venue issues.
Our lawyers have repeatedly taken a lead role for insurance companies in most of the nation’s most prominent mass tort products liability bankruptcy cases, including many asbestos bankruptcies. Our litigators also have significant experience successfully handling other kinds of litigation facing financial institutions. The depth of our lawyers’ experience ranges from substantial trial and appellate experience in complex litigation in asbestos cases, to more common bankruptcy-related disputes involving creditors' rights, such as adequate protection, adequate assurances, and defense of allegedly fraudulent and preferential transfers.
