Bankruptcy

Businesses in financial distress face complex decisions about whether to restructure, negotiate with lenders, or pursue formal bankruptcy. Any misstep can lead to loss of control, diminished recoveries for creditors, or protracted litigation. Meanwhile, creditors must take early, proactive action to protect their interests under compressed timelines, combat competing claims, and weather uncertainty around recovery.

That’s why businesses need seasoned bankruptcy counsel to help them analyze their financial position, structure out-of-court workouts and negotiations, protect their rights, and maximize their ability to recover. The bankruptcy and restructuring attorneys at Dunlap Bennett and Ludwig help companies navigate these high-stakes situations with pragmatic strategies to preserve value, resolve disputes, and achieve sustainable outcomes.
