Carella Byrne provides seasoned and strategic representation for debtors, creditors, and other interested parties in bankruptcy proceedings. We complement a comprehensive understanding of bankruptcy law and procedure with the valuable perspectives and insights of attorneys with backgrounds in multiple legal disciplines that intersect with these nuanced and complex matters. This depth and breadth of experience allow us to develop holistic bankruptcy approaches tailored to achieving each client’s goals in Chapter 7, 11, and 13 proceedings. We pride ourselves on our ability to identify and navigate the legal and business implications of every potential course of action, whether they be in core proceedings, adversary actions, or out-of-court restructurings.

For individual and business debtors, we help restructure debt, formulate reorganization plans, and negotiate workouts that can position them for a successful emergence from bankruptcy proceedings.
