Bankruptcy, Workouts and Restructuring

Sutherland’s Bankruptcy, Workouts and Restructuring Team has substantial experience across the workout spectrum, including:  

 

  • Negotiation of out-of-court consensual restructurings.

  • Litigation and purchase and sale transactions in state insolvency proceedings and federal bankruptcy cases.

  • Real estate and UCC liquidations, foreclosures, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure and other court receivership actions.

  • Representation of lenders in the sale of loans and real estate owned (REO) properties acquired by foreclosure or in deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.   

Our attorneys are experienced in documenting both domestic and cross-border workout arrangements; advising creditors of troubled enterprises; counseling debtors, owners, managers and investors; and, more recently, representing special servicers and the providers of debt, mezzanine, and equity capital with respect to nonperforming securitized loans, collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). 

 

The attorneys comprising Sutherland’s Workouts and Restructuring team have extensive REO experience representing national banks and other financial institutions and have represented numerous lending clients in the workout and restructuring of mortgage loans covering properties throughout the United States.
