Creditors' Rights

Litigation & Disputes

For you, collecting what is owed to you or your company is purely a matter of business. But for the debtors, it’s a bit more emotional. Oftentimes, that can turn what should be a simple, civil business conversation into an emotionally charged back-and-forth discussion.

This is where we can help. Knowledge of the vast body of debtor-creditor law also translates into the ability to advise clients regarding business strategies and transactions, and to structure and prepare documentation for transactions or business programs in order to help identify and, where possible, limit the client’s exposure to counterparty credit risk.  Our attorneys are often called upon by clients to structure agreements in anticipation of the counterparty’s bankruptcy, insolvency or failure to perform.  Our creditors' rights team has extensive experience (and a successful track record) collecting client debts involving a variety of areas such as commercial loans, credit card accounts, retail accounts, personal and commercial rents, legal judgments, and subrogation matters.

We are well versed in all aspects of the collection process, which helps ensure a legal, fair, and aggressive pursuit of debts owed to you. Those aspects include:

Pre-Litigation

  • Demand letters and other communications with debtors
  • Payment plans
  • Work-out agreements
