Practices » Distressed Mergers & Acquisitions

Although a business may no longer be viable in its present state, there are often valuable assets and sometimes even the possibility that a stronger company can take on the business and revitalize it. We represent clients in structuring transactions to purchase assets and companies involved in Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 cases, including guidance in evaluating and acquiring assets from bankruptcy estates and distressed businesses, whether as straightforward sales or as proponents of restructuring plans of reorganization.

In asset purchases, we use techniques of a traditional corporate acquisition to shape the purchase strategy most advantageous to our clients. We perform appropriate due diligence on environmental, product liability and other potential costs and factor them into our purchase bid. If the assets involved include real estate, we ensure there are no liens or other encumbrances that later turn a profitable deal into a costly mistake.
