McKool Smith’s bankruptcy practice focuses on complex commercial bankruptcies. Our attorneys have participated in many of the nation’s largest Chapter 11 proceedings and represent clients in every stage of Chapter 11 and business Chapter 7 cases—from “first day hearings” to plan confirmation and appeal. The firm also represents clients in out-of-court restructurings, where our courtroom experience is used to negotiate a positive outcome without the expense of a bankruptcy trial.
