As restructuring professionals, we cover the full spectrum of issues, the balance sheet to the cash register.

Overview

We dig in to help our clients fix the capital structure and the operational issues that may drive a business to bankruptcy. We have deep experience on both the debtor and creditor side of the case. And while we strive to reach a practical result, we are prepared to litigate the case if that is the best way to achieve the client’s goals. In other words, we come ready for a fight, knowing where and when to press hard, but we are also ready to shift strategy when necessary.

Choosing the right approach to stay ahead

Bankruptcy cases are multifaceted and problems often arise that are unexpected. We are proactive with our clients in selecting a strategy to drive the case to our desired outcome, but are always prepared to handle the unexpected issues. While we are well versed in the legal issues that arise in bankruptcy cases, we also have the business background needed to achieve the optimum result.

We have particular expertise in the energy arena, having navigated the challenges faced by our clients for the last 80 years. We stay abreast of the current regulatory climate, changes in demand, and commodity prices, which often drive bankruptcy cases

Helping clients in and out of the courtroom

Our lawyers have a strong reputation for efficiency and effectiveness helping clients in bankruptcy cases in Louisiana, Texas, and throughout the US – and that includes our experience in the courtroom. Because we’ve been doing it for decades, we can gauge the anticipated workload to build a team of the right size. We dive in deep and are pragmatic when it comes to meeting the client’s goals. In addition, we have litigated complex business disputes as well as buy-sell issues, buyouts, employment and other contracts, and takeovers.

And our experience is not limited to bankruptcy court. We routinely handle restructuring matters in state courts, including receiverships and foreclosure proceedings.
