We serve as counsel for a wide variety of clients, including debtors, creditors' committees, equity committees, trustees, creditors, landlords and other lessors, board members, purchasers, and parties defending litigation brought by debtors, or pursuing claims against debtors. Our cases range from the relatively simple to very complex, and we have extensive experience representing parties in litigation arising out of bankruptcies and other insolvencies.

Depth and Strength

With more than 15 attorneys well-versed in bankruptcy and restructuring law, Saul Ewing's Bankruptcy and Restructuring Department is dedicated to handling all aspects of debtor and creditor cases in various courts. We combine experience, resources, strategic planning, and client focus to achieve results for our clients, whether the client is a company in need of financial restructuring or facing other life-threatening crises, or a creditors' committee or individual creditor with specific concerns or interests at stake, or stockholders. We frequently work closely with lawyers in our other practice groups, drawing on their knowledge and experience in the areas of litigation, securities, corporate, tax, and insurance law, as well as other areas.

We have the experience and ability to resolve the largest and most complex cases, as well as the smaller cases, and will assemble a team of attorneys with the experience and knowledge appropriate for each case.

Service

Dedication to client service is one of our passions. Our clients should expect personal attention from the lawyer responsible for each case, and to be kept well informed of significant developments as they occur.
