Investigations, discovery and litigation in insolvency
proceedings are typically on a more compressed timetable than other
civil litigation. Our attorneys have acted as both plaintiff
and defendants’ counsel in many high-profile and precedential cases
in areas such as equitable subordination, channeling injunctions,
fiduciary duties and alleged negligence of directors and officers,
just to name a few. Our experience in these matters gives us a
broad and balanced perspective on the strengths and weaknesses of
each case. We have been heavily involved in a number of the leading
cases in the area.
