Our practice focuses on Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights, Commercial Litigation, and General Corporate Law.
Bankruptcy & Creditors' Rights
JLSPC's Bankruptcy practice focuses on all aspects of creditor representation. We are experienced in representing secured and unsecured creditors and equity holders of all kinds (including distressed debt/equity investors, claims traders, and debtor in possession lenders as well as trade creditors), as well as other parties in interest (including asset purchasers and indenture trustees). In addition, our attorneys also have experience representing official and unofficial committees in a variety of contexts. JLSPC represents parties in adversary proceedings of all types (including avoidance litigation), as well as in claims litigation and plan-related negotiation and litigation.
Our acumen and experience combined with our tough, practical judgment enables us to represent clients in dealing with nearly any issue arising out of the insolvency or financial distress of an entity. Our experience in this area permits us to focus quickly on the particular concerns of each client and thus develop a comprehensive strategy tailored to the matter at hand.
We eschew the "cookie-cutter," or "cut-and-paste" approach that is increasingly common even in the most complex bankruptcy cases. Rather, we view each matter as a unique challenge with a simple goal-maximizing client recoveries. Our strong background and cutting-edge legal knowledge combined with our creativity and dedication to our clients' specific needs and objectives, allows JLSPC to do just that.
Bankruptcy cases tend to have many fast moving parts and multiple parties each competing to maximize its respective distributions from a limited pool of assets. We are experienced in negotiating in the unique bankruptcy landscape, and leveraging the process to obtain results for our clients.
JLSPC represents plaintiffs and defendants in litigation involving, among other things:
- Securities Fraud, Other Fraud, Misrepresentation and Breach of Fiduciary Duty;
- Contract and General Business Disputes;
- Employment, ERISA, Termination Claims. Benefits Claims, Overtime Claims, and Commission Claims.
JLSPC's attorneys take an aggressive, yet reasoned and practical approach to litigation. Our experience has shown us that a committed, serious litigation strategy is often the best way to a successful resolution. This approach often leads to a favorable negotiated resolution, and if it does not, we are able to litigate matters to a successful conclusion.
We rigorously delve into the facts and legal principals that underlie the case, and use our experience and creativity to develop a results-oriented strategy. JLSPC's attorneys use their skills and knowledge to successfully execute that strategy in the court room.
JLSPC's experienced attorneys provide legal advice on general business matters, such as entity formation, employment and severance negotiations, and general contracts and agreements.
