Avoidance Actions and Claims Litigation

The firm handles the entire spectrum of claims and avoidance litigation for debtors, committees, trustees, liquidation or postconfirmation trusts, and defendants, from “mega cases” to smaller, individual matters. Each of our litigators has 15 to 30 years of bankruptcy litigation experience, allowing the firm to analyze each avoidance action or litigated claim to devise a comprehensive strategy and recommend an original approach to prosecution and possible settlement, rather than the cookie-cutter or “percentage-discount” approach used by many firms handling these types of cases in volume. We litigate with the confidence and know-how to succeed through discovery and trial when litigation is the only viable option, where most other avoidance and claims litigators have little, if any, trial experience. As a result, we achieve greater efficiency and thus larger net recoveries than firms with less experience in this area of the law, particularly in cases with numerous claims and avoidance matters,.
