Lawyers of the firm have been involved in sizable UCC sales such as the sale of 100% of the capital stock of a 71 store grocery chain and numerous UCC sales of memberships and partnerships in real property entities.

When a bankruptcy filing is undertaken by the debtor, the firm can provide a complete suite of bankruptcy related services to its secured creditor clients including motions to lift the automatic stay, the filing of proofs of claims, adequate protection and insurance motions, objections to the use of cash collateral and motions to prohibit the use of cash collateral and  plan confirmation disputes..

Lease assignments which impact adversely upon use restrictions and  issues relating to co-tenancy clauses are also within the scope of the firm’s services to the commercial landlord community.

Tenant bankruptcy reorganizations require that commercial landlords be proactive to protect their rights.
