That experience includes strategic planning in anticipation of bankruptcy, administering cases under the Bankruptcy Code, informal workouts and restructurings, acquisition of assets from distressed businesses and Chapter 11 debtors, doing business with Chapter 11 debtors, state law receiverships, liquidations, and counseling successful businesses with their troubled accounts, including defending preferential transfer actions.
