Bankruptcy Litigation
This area of practice focuses on legal proceedings related to bankruptcy cases, where Stern & Eisenberg represents creditors. Bankruptcy litigation often involves various disputes, including those concerning claims, asset protection, allegations of fraud, creditor rights, and the reorganization of businesses under bankruptcy laws.
Our team is skilled in navigating the complexities of bankruptcy litigation, ensuring that creditors’ interests are protected and that they receive the best possible outcomes. Whether it’s pursuing claims, safeguarding assets, or addressing fraudulent activities, we are dedicated to providing robust legal representation throughout the bankruptcy process.
Debtors frequently utilize the federal bankruptcy system to address financial hardship by managing or restructuring secured and unsecured debts. The type of relief sought depends on the specific bankruptcy chapter filed: Chapter 7 for liquidation, Chapter 11 for business reorganization, Chapter 12 for family farmers and fishermen, or Chapter 13 for individual debt adjustment. However, the bankruptcy process is sometimes exploited to hinder lenders’ rights and interests.
Stern & Eisenberg is dedicated to safeguarding and asserting lenders’ rights throughout the bankruptcy process.
Additionally, Stern & Eisenberg also provides ongoing bankruptcy onsite and virtual training sessions for clients and the industry. For the latest Bankruptcy Update and client training opportunities, please contact our SEValue team.
