Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights

Bankruptcy is a complex area of law where experience counts.  With more than 100 years of combined experience, our bankruptcy/creditor's rights' lawyers have been involved in nearly every significant bankruptcy case filed in Oregon and in many bankruptcy cases pending in other jurisdictions.  In fact, we are closer to the Vancouver, Washington Bankruptcy Court than Seattle firms.  We represent virtually every type of interested party in these matters, including debtors, bankruptcy trustees, secured lenders, indenture trustees, unsecured creditors, plaintiffs and defendants in bankruptcy litigation, lessors, lessees, purchasers of assets, and governmental entities.  Our collective experience in advocating the varied interests of our clients provides us with a unique perspective on the processes and pitfalls in this complex area of law.

Our firm has a national bankruptcy practice.  We routinely represent clients in bankruptcy cases throughout the United States, including cases in Washington, Delaware, New York, California and elsewhere.  We have represented major creditors, such as telecommunication companies, transportation companies and governmental entities in some of the largest cases filed in the United States.  Our extensive experience provides our clients with cost effective legal advice no matter where the bankruptcy case may be pending.  Although a case may be filed outside of the Northwest, much of our work is done by telephone or electronically.  Furthermore, many courts allow telephone court appearances from our office in Portland.  Even if we must appear in person in court elsewhere, our hourly rates and the infrequency of such appearances still allow us to be cost effective.

The attorneys at Sussman Shank LLP pride themselves on being problem solvers.  We are known for formulating and achieving creative and innovative solutions in insolvency-related situations, both in and out of bankruptcy court.  We have been able to successfully resolve many matters through out-of-court workouts, which can include reorganization, restructuring, liquidation or a combination of them. 

Feel free to contact us for more information about Sussman Shank LLP's Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights Practice Area through Thomas W. Stilley, Chair, at tom@sussmanshank.com or by direct dial at (503) 243-1649.
