Mountain Express Oil Company

The firm represents Mountain Express Oil Company and its 143 subsidiaries in their jointly administered bankruptcy cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Mountain Express is one of the largest motor-fuel distributors in the American South, serving 828 gas stations and 27 travel centers across 27 states. Mountain Express sought relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in March 2023 to protect all stakeholders in the face of aggressive, value-destructive actions threatened by the debtor's largest landlord due to alleged nonmonetary lease defaults. In April 2023, Mountain Express obtained final authority to borrow under a $37.85 million debtor-in-possession financing facility to facilitate a value-maximizing sale process.
