For energy companies facing difficult choices in a down cycle, we provide an unparalleled combination of sophisticated bankruptcy experience and in-depth knowledge of the energy industry. Many of our lawyers have technical degrees and have worked at energy companies or with government agencies. We represent industry leaders across the globe in some of their most complex litigation and business matters. We know the energy business and what it takes to succeed.
We have offices coast to coast and handle the full spectrum of issues that arise in stressed and distressed situations, using innovative strategies and sophisticated skill sets to achieve the best possible results.
A Full Range of Capabilities
For much of our firm’s history, we have handled large- and middle-market commercial bankruptcy cases for clients regardless of the form of commercial enterprise. Our extensive experience in business workouts, complex reorganizations and bankruptcy proceedings – backed by attorneys throughout the country in our energy, litigation, employment, tax, environmental, real estate, securities and corporate practices – enables us to provide comprehensive counsel regarding creditor and debtor relations.
In the energy sector, this means we handle complex matters ranging from serving as lead counsel in Chapter 11 cases and workouts to representation of purchasers of distressed assets both in and out of court. Our team handles a wide range of liquidity-related issues such as refinancing and capital raises. We have been involved in some of the largest and most complex insolvency cases nationally and globally, most notably as counsel to Irving H. Picard, the SIPA Trustee overseeing the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS). But we also are highly attuned to cost sensitivities in more modestly sized matters. In every case, we are practical, timely and responsive.
