Businesses in Financial Trouble

Businesses in distress turn to Much for sound, experienced guidance. We can help whether your organization is very large or very small. Whether you’re a business or a nonprofit organization. And whether the cause of your problem is related to the balance sheet, operations, governance, or a one-off crisis.

Businesses in Financial Trouble

Our Restructuring, Insolvency & Special Situations attorneys are equipped with a litany of legal tools that can be brought to bear to help an organization when it is facing an existential crisis. Having skilled legal technicians is, however, just a starting point.

Our lawyers use creativity and sharply honed skills to provide pragmatic business advice to our clients. From helping to create and execute crisis communications, to building internal and external alliances, to guiding management teams through the hardest of operational decisions, our team has the experience necessary to help you achieve your objectives.

Much advises organizations, managers, and boards of directors before, during, and after financial distress. When you know you need – or even think you might need – assistance negotiating with creditors or getting you to the other side of bankruptcy proceedings, our team can help. And we never rely on one-size-fits-all solutions.

Understanding your goals through and through.  

We work alongside our clients to understand what outcomes they view as wins. In a situation in which the goal is to reorganize, we design strategies to reduce liabilities and extend payment terms, while the company continues under the control of current management. In situations in which reorganization isn’t practical, we help owners reduce their risks and limit personal guarantees wherever possible. And then there is everything in between.

We will help you determine which outcomes are realistic and which are not. And then we will work with you to develop and execute on the strategy and tactics to achieve your goals.

  • Being able to fight, but being willing not to: In many cases, a negotiated solution is often preferable to a litigated one. However, if it isn’t possible to reach an amicable resolution, Much’s attorneys have the experience to fiercely defend your interests through litigation.
  • Making informed decisions as quickly as possible: We can appreciate that businesses in distress are often melting ice cubes. We provide the creativity and diligence to reach the finish line before there is nothing left.
