Our bankruptcy attorneys support the efforts of the firm's clients represented in our claims trading and secondary bank debt trading practice, and use their expertise to advise clients on the implications of potential bankruptcy issues, under various scenarios, including within and outside the bankruptcy context, and the potential for the recharacterization, subordination or other impairment of such claims and loans. Our attorneys advise clients on the potential bankruptcy consequences of various commercial transactions such as leveraged buyouts, structured financings and recapitalizations with respect to the potential treatment of claims, loans and other investments.
