Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights

The Firm’s bankruptcy practice focuses on representing lenders, creditors and landlords in bankruptcy liquidations and reorganizations.

When a customer goes bankrupt, preference claims asserted by the bankruptcy trustee can undo even the most diligent receivables collection efforts. When a trustee or debtor-in-possession asserts preference claims against our clients, our experience in preference litigation enables us to dispose of or settle most claims on a favorable basis.

Unexpired leases and contracts present bankruptcy issues. We assist lessors and landlords in protecting their interest and restarting cash flow that has been interrupted by a tenant’s bankruptcy filing.

The Bankruptcy process has several deadlines. We assist our client in meeting the necessary deadlines in order to maximize recovery from the bankruptcy estate.

The Firm represents judgment creditors in post-judgment matters such as the creation and foreclosure of judgment liens, issuance of writs of execution and garnishment, fraudulent conveyance actions, turnover proceedings and post-judgment depositions. The Firm is experienced in the domestication and collection of foreign judgments, and the enforcement of the judgments of Texas in the courts of other states.

In addition, the Firm assists clients in the acquisition of assets from bankrupt estates, non-bankruptcy reorganizations and the structuring and documentation of non-judicial workouts and in commercial litigation arising out of bankruptcy-related matters.
