As the economy evolves, businesses borrow capital, extend lines of credit, reorganize debt, buy or sell troubled assets, and recover extended credit. Clients turn to Leatherwood’s Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights attorneys, who protect their interests by preparing a wide variety of loan and credit instruments, security agreements, mortgages, and other credit instruments for creditors of all kinds, including domestic and international banks, commercial credit companies, and other financial institutions.
Leatherwood’s Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights group regularly represents secured and unsecured creditors, creditors’ committees, and crisis managers involved in bankruptcy proceedings, state receiverships, non-judicial workouts, foreclosure actions, and personal property repossessions.
We also represent banks and other creditors in litigation arising from commercial and consumer loan transactions, ranging from the most common, such as a defaulting debtor, to the most sophisticated, including lender liability actions. Our attorneys have successfully defended actions brought against financial institutions and other creditors involving improper withdrawals, stop payment requests, forgeries, altered instruments, dealer/manufacturer’s warranties, unfair trade practices, federal and state consumer protection violations, conversion of personal property, and fraud.
