Bankruptcy and Reorganization Law Department Services

The Bankruptcy and Reorganization Law Department represents secured and unsecured creditors, debtors, debtors-in-possession, trustees and creditors' committees in Chapter 11 cases, adversary proceedings, out-of-court workouts, business reorganization issues, business bankruptcy, complex Chapter 7 cases and related insolvency litigation, complemented by the expertise found in the firm's Real Estate, Litigation, Business and Corporate Law and Tax Law Departments.

Our attorneys seek the most cost-effective and creative solutions for creditors with respect to the enforcement of their rights, and for debtors in dealing with major liabilities, business downturns and/or cash-flow problems.

Our capabilities include:

• Debtors: Debtors and debtors-in-possession are heavily scrutinized in most Chapter 11 cases and workouts effected out of court. Our lawyers provide skilled counsel to debtors and debtors-in-possession nationwide.
   
• Creditors' Committees: In most Chapter 11 cases, the establishment and effectiveness of creditors' committees are crucial to safeguarding the interests of creditors, bondholders and other holders of debt. ECJ has extensive experience representing unsecured creditors' committees in substantial Chapter 11 cases.
