Creditors' Rights

Experience on your side

Burr & Forman's commitment to the changing needs of lenders and creditors is evidenced by its substantial Creditors' Rights and Bankruptcy practice. The size of our group - over forty attorneys concentrating in this area of law - makes us one of the largest bankruptcy practice groups in the region which allows individual attorneys to focus on narrow specialties. The group was recently ranked by Law360 as the thirty-sixth largest creditors' rights and bankruptcy team in the United States. Based on this ranking, Burr's team is the largest in the Southeast.

For more than three decades, Burr & Forman attorneys concentrating in creditors’ rights have been actively involved in major bankruptcy proceedings in the Southeast and beyond. Our work began with an emphasis on representing major secured lenders in Chapter 11 bankruptcies but our practice has evolved far beyond its initial role.

Our experience is extensive in the manufacturing, real estate, health care, agriculture, retail, and construction industries. On the creditor side we represent financial services institutions, asset-based lenders, and local, regional, and national banks. We serve as counsel to REITs, equipment sellers and lessors.

Along with our expanding representation in creditors’ rights cases, we also counsel and represent business entities experiencing financial distress. Our attorneys have substantial experience in the representation of business debtors including manufacturers, educational institutions, retailers, and health care providers in workouts and insolvency proceedings.

We often represent stalking horse buyers and other bidders in bankruptcy 363 sales. We represent bankruptcy committees and liquidating trustees. Increasingly, we also represent manufacturers who are customers of insolvent entities where the manufacturer must have immediately that unique part made by its sole source, financially distressed supplier, which is supposed to deliver the part on a just in time basis. An aspect of bankruptcy practice that we have pioneered is defending entities sued in civil disputes where the defendant has a bankruptcy preclusion defense to the civil lawsuit.
