- Bankruptcy
There is a need for experienced attorneys to handle
chapter 11 cases and international restructuring
representing secured creditors, debtors and equity
holders. Distressed commercial real estate restructuring
transactions abound, and we need attorneys representing
lenders and borrowers, and attorneys who can advise
secured lenders on enforcement and bankruptcy
strategies. A few firms are considering adding
small bankruptcy groups.

We also handle in-house entertainment positions.
