Bankruptcy & Insolvency

Distressed situations, creative solutions.


Equally experienced in the boardroom and courtroom, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney is ready to help find solutions that work for both creditors and debtors in a myriad of matters including chapter 11 reorganization cases, non-judicial agented secured loan restructurings, chapter 7 liquidation cases and the acquisition of assets from distressed borrowers. We have a diverse client base and are involved with a wide range of industries including real estate, manufacturing, retail, health care, technology, natural resources, security alarm and insurance.

Financial know-how.

Much of our multi-disciplinary practice involves regular representation of banks and other financial institutions in asset based lending, secured transactions, real estate finance (including tax credit financing), subordinated debt financing, syndications, out-of-court restructurings and workouts. We work seamlessly with our Financial Services team to counsel and formulate strategies with financially distressed companies to meet their goals and produce the best outcome possible.

Another strength of our practice involves the representation of creditors, debtors and other parties in bankruptcy and insolvency cases pending in federal and state courts. We work to reorganize distressed businesses or liquidate assets in a manner that preserves and maximizes value. In addition, we routinely represent entities interested in acquiring troubled companies or their assets. We assist with structuring, negotiating and documenting the transaction, as well as counseling on the implications of such transactions.
