Maryland, D.C. and Virginia Unsecured Creditors' Representation
One of many complex aspects of bankruptcy proceedings and litigation is the presence of multiple constituencies, all competing for the best achievable financial outcome. A lawyer who succeeds in this demanding role must be objective yet focused, highly knowledgeable in technical areas of the law and yet creative in structuring viable solutions.
Representation of creditors in bankruptcy proceedings is a clear strength of our Annapolis-based, regionally known law firm. We have achieved an elite level of credibility with trustees and other attorneys through our decades of experience in all aspects of bankruptcy law — including three of our members' service as past presidents of the Bankruptcy Bar Association for the District of Maryland.
Maximizing Strength in Unity and the Benefits of Shared Committee Counsel
Creditors joining together with representation by mutual committee counsel, rather than enlisting separate lawyers, can have tremendous practical benefits — not the least of which is sharing the cost of that legal representation. Our creditor clients can depend on us to:
- Pursue all means of maximizing the recovery for all general unsecured creditors from a Chapter 11 plan or other form of bankruptcy
- Thoroughly investigate and analyze individual creditors' claims and rights, as well as the bankruptcy filers' claimed assets, the viability of the restructured business and any indications of fraud
- Dependably ensure that the creditors' committee as a whole adheres to all requirements and discharges all its duties within the bankruptcy process
- Propose innovative solutions that less experienced, less focused bankruptcy lawyers might never consider or view as impractical for presentation to the trustee
