Business Bankruptcy

Preserving Businesses through Reorganization

The attorneys at Rayburn Cooper & Durham take an interdisciplinary approach to the practice of business bankruptcy. When a client company faces the prospect of financial insolvency, their wide-ranging experience in all types of business law often enables them to identify alternatives to filing under Chapter 11, such as a workout, restructuring, or sale of all or part of the assets or operations of the client.

When the firm's attorneys identify bankruptcy as the best option for a client, this experience enables them to quickly develop a Chapter 11 plan that can gain acceptance by the court. Throughout the Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization process, the firm will monitor the progress of the plan and efficiently prepare all needed reports and documentation for the court.

Our Debtor-Creditor attorneys receive a steady flow of conflict referrals from other law firms. Typically, these referrals may involve situations in which the client is a party to a financial arrangement with a bank or large financial institution that is under negotiation or restructuring. Often, such conflicts arise in out-of-court situations relating to a restructuring or a dispute involving the bank or financial institution relationship. Since our firm does not represent large banks or financial institutions, we are able to provide specific services to clients in these situations. We endeavor to resolve such engagements without the need for a formal legal proceeding. However, if a formal legal proceeding is required to protect the client’s interest, our attorneys are well qualified to represent the client’s interest in such matters. , including, without limitation, a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
