Business Restructuring and Chapter 11

We are the go-to firm for businesses that need to reorganize to survive. Our deep understanding of the Bankruptcy Code allows us to craft creative solutions that preserve value and operations. Our services include:

• Chapter 11 Reorganization: We guide corporations, LLCs, and partnerships through the restructuring process, negotiating with creditors to develop feasible plans for long-term viability.
• Subchapter V Bankruptcy: We specialize in this streamlined process for small businesses, helping them reorganize faster and more cost-effectively than traditional Chapter 11.
• Workouts and Receiverships: Not every financial crisis requires bankruptcy. We represent clients in out-of-court workouts, state court receiverships (Chapter 128), and assignments for the benefit of creditors.

Commercial Litigation Excellence

Kerkman & Dunn is also a powerhouse in the courtroom. Our litigation practice is built on a track record of success in state and federal courts. We handle:

• Business Disputes: Breach of contract, shareholder oppression, and partnership breakups.
• Fraud and Preference Actions: Defending and prosecuting claims related to fraudulent transfers and preferential payments in bankruptcy contexts.
• Real Estate Litigation: resolving disputes involving commercial leases, development projects, and property rights.
