Area of Practice

Bankruptcy & Restructuring

Our Approach

Financial distress is an unavoidable reality in today’s business environment. Whether the situation involves a business navigating financial pressures, a creditor seeking to protect its interests, or an investor evaluating opportunities in a distressed transaction, experienced legal guidance is critical.

At FBFK, we provide disciplined, strategic counsel across the full spectrum of insolvency and restructuring matters. Our team understands that distressed situations require both legal precision and sound commercial judgment. We work closely with clients to evaluate options, preserve value, and pursue solutions that protect long-term business objectives.

Our bankruptcy and restructuring practice takes a multidisciplinary approach. We regularly collaborate with attorneys across the firm’s corporate, finance, real estate, tax, and litigation teams to deliver practical and cost-efficient strategies tailored to the circumstances of each matter.

Whenever possible, we help clients pursue negotiated resolutions and out-of-court restructurings that stabilize businesses and maximize recovery. When disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation, our bankruptcy attorneys have experience handling complex Chapter 11 reorganization cases, and our litigators have experience handling complex, high-dollar bankruptcy-related litigation, contested matters and adversary proceedings in bankruptcy courts, federal district courts, and federal appellate courts.

Who We Serve

We represent creditors, debtors, committees, trustees, investors, and other stakeholders involved in distressed situations and insolvency proceedings. Our clients include financial institutions, operating companies, lenders, investors, and business owners navigating complex financial challenges.

We also advise investors and strategic buyers pursuing acquisitions of distressed assets, helping to structure transactions that unlock value while navigating the unique risks and requirements of bankruptcy proceedings.

Across every engagement, our focus is to help clients understand their position, evaluate available strategies, and move forward with clarity and confidence in the most efficient, cost-effective manner possible.
