Because the restructuring of businesses requires more than just a knowledge of the bankruptcy code, Dorsey brings to this group not only experienced bankruptcy lawyers, but also lawyers experienced in mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, securities law, finance, business litigation and other disciplines that are critical to the restructuring of viable businesses and assisting creditors in preserving their contractual rights.

Dorsey’s Business Restructuring and Bankruptcy lawyers represent secured creditors, creditors’ committees, distressed companies, debtors in possession, acquirors of distressed companies or their assets, investors, indenture trustees, debtor in possession lenders, specialty lenders, financial services companies, and other participants in reorganization, liquidation and workout proceedings.  The group’s restructuring advisory services for distressed companies focus on out-of-court restructurings, foreclosures and Chapter 11, including “prepackaged” and “prearranged reorganizations.”

The Business Restructuring and Bankruptcy group also regularly advises financially healthy companies on implementing changes to their capital and corporate structures designed to enhance enterprise values.  The group encompasses both transactional and litigation oriented matters and our representation extends beyond debtors and creditors.  Members of the group have counseled boards of directors and officers of distressed companies on fiduciary obligations and on significant litigation and restructuring matters.
