Friedman Kaplan’s bankruptcy and creditors’ rights practice draws upon the insight and excellence of our attorneys to provide our clients with the creative and tenacious representation that has become the hallmark of the firm. We have substantial experience representing and advising corporations, investment funds, officers and directors, liquidators, and bankruptcy trusts and trustees in connection with the many complex issues associated with domestic and foreign insolvency proceedings. Because our firm is relatively free of the conflicts that encumber many large firms, we are able to advise parties on all sides of the bankruptcy table, including debtors, creditors, official and ad hoc committees, litigation trusts, and liquidating trustees.

Reflecting the work of the firm overall, Friedman Kaplan’s bankruptcy and creditors’ rights group excels in handling cutting-edge, high-stakes, and exceptionally complex matters. The firm has played an active role in several of the most significant bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings of the past several years, representing the litigation trustee for a preeminent newspaper and broadcast company which filed for bankruptcy after an $8 billion LBO, two major bondholders seeking payment on more than $1 billion in defaulted bonds from the government of Argentina, and a major supplier to the automotive industry in litigation against a group of investment banks and hedge funds that backed out of a $2.55 billion financing commitment, among others.

To ensure that clients benefit from the full range of Friedman Kaplan’s outstanding litigation, corporate, and transactional expertise, we augment our teams as needed with exceptional attorneys from multiple practice areas. In this way, Friedman Kaplan brings to bear in bankruptcy matters the same smart, aggressive, and agile approach that defines our entire practice.
