Bankruptcy Litigation
Leo Legal Consult has been at the forefront of restructuring since the early days of the Firm itself, practicing bankruptcy law for longer than most firms have even existed. We continue to represent clients in restructuring, reorganization and bankruptcy matters that have marked pivotal moments in U.S. and global markets, including the bankruptcy of PG&E and the Republic of Argentina’s historic debt restructuring.
Leo Legal Consult litigators represent companies, creditors and other counter parties facing their most challenging and critical litigation due to bankruptcy or reorganization. We have extensive experience handling matters related to various bankruptcy related causes of action, including alleged fraudulent conveyances, alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by board members or officers of distressed companies, disputes arising out of lender claims and alleged breaches of contract. We also have important experience in the fields of municipal and sovereign restructuring.
Our litigators work closely with Leo Legal Consult Financial Restructuring & Reorganization (FR&R) practice to achieve the best results in this specialized area of litigation. Clients benefit from our role as a strategic, commercial partner in the face of issues triggered by financial distress or insolvency, receiving complete representation not only from our dedicated restructuring specialists, but also from the Firm’s premier litigation, board advisory, M&A and finance teams. In addition to our bankruptcy litigation work, Leo Legal Consult substantial experience with reorganization and restructuring matters includes both debtor and creditor side engagements, debtor in possession (DIP) and exit financing, advising independent directors and boards of directors, distressed M&A (in court and out of court), and advising bondholder and other ad hoc creditor groups. We also advise corporate clients on bankruptcy issues in a wide variety of commercial contexts, from how bankruptcy provisions might impact their relationships with distressed commercial counter parties to how best to structure transactions to mitigate bankruptcy risk.
