Bankruptcy and Debtor/Creditor Rights

Our bankruptcy attorneys are experienced in negotiating and drafting bankruptcy filings and litigating contested bankruptcy matters. These hearings involve the full range of bankruptcy issues, including contested use of cash collateral, extension or reduction of exclusivity periods, assumption and rejection of executory contracts, dischargeability matters, claims litigation, and plan confirmation issues. We routinely handle complex preference, fraudulent transfer, and other avoidance-related litigation. While most of our bankruptcy matters have been tried before the bankruptcy courts in Arkansas, we have also litigated bankruptcy matters before federal district courts, as well as on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel.

We regularly negotiate and prepare documents and instruments in financially distressed situations, including letters of credit, inter-creditor agreements, debtor-in-possession financing agreements, loan modification agreements, negotiable instruments, and collateral liquidation agreements.

Our attorneys also regularly handle commercial and agricultural foreclosure and collection suits for lenders in state and federal courts.
