BANKRUPTCY LAW

GPM's bankruptcy attorneys are well-known for their expertise in the area of corporate reorganization and creditors' rights. Our attorneys are highly accomplished in negotiating reorganization plans on behalf of our clients, which is critical in restructuring and insolvency situations. Our bankruptcy group is intimately familiar with virtually every facet of bankruptcy, reorganization and the workout process including the representation of purchasers of entire businesses or business segments of troubled enterprises both in and outside of Chapter 11.

We have represented debtor and creditor clients in out-of-court financial restructuring, and pre-bankruptcy negotiation and strategy. We are able to provide unique insight in the bankruptcy process through GPM's representation of both creditors and debtors and our attorneys' understanding the motivations and strategies of the participants. GPM's attorneys have reorganized businesses in complex Chapter 11 proceedings nationwide, confirming Chapter 11 plans in industries such as energy, real estate, healthcare, oil and gas, and retail. On the creditor side, we represent secured and unsecured creditors, ad hoc and official creditor and equity committees, lenders and bank groups, asset purchasers, landlords, equipment lessors, vendors, investors, insurers and trustees.

Our skilled lawyers also serve as special litigation counsel to trustees in Chapter 7 cases, and also in Chapter 15 or cross-border insolvency cases under the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency. We have experience in bankruptcy litigation across multiple jurisdictions, including adversary proceedings, together with avoidance of preferences and fraudulent transfers. With strong connections to the UK and Europe, we are able to associate with counsel all over the world to produce a truly seamless, international service.
