Bankruptcy and Insolvency
With over thirty years managing commercial and family disputes, we are well positioned to give practical and sophisticated advice in managing claims against insolvent debtors and trustees in bankruptcy on a range of commercial and personal bankruptcy issues.

It requires experience and strategic thinking, which are critical to obtaining controlled and optimal results for our clients.
