About Us
Who We Are
We are business advocates who help companies grow, restructure, and prepare to sell.
What We Do
We make businesses’ choices clearer by understanding their financial situation, measuring recovery potential, and guiding them through options across the spectrum, from business restructuring and turnaround to reorganization or bankruptcy.
In addition, our attorneys are there to guide our clients through the bankruptcy process for situations that cannot be settled outside of court and provide an array of legal services the client may need to set them up for success into the future.
