Acquisitions & Sales of Distressed Assets

When purchasing assets or the stock of a financially distressed company, the ability to analyze liability issues, conduct diligence on disparate types of corporate assets, and to implement a strategic acquisition plan is often what comprises a successful acquisition bid. Our bankruptcy professionals possess the skills and know-how to help you to successfully exploit windows of opportunity, increasing your recovery and minimizing your liability.

We regularly provide advice regarding the purchase of assets from, or stock of, a distressed company both within and outside of bankruptcy. We represent purchasers in domestic and cross-border distressed company transactions ranging from several million to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Our US and non-US offices (and US-based foreign law experts) work together to provide deal execution in a seamless manner across multiple jurisdictions. Our locally-qualified attorneys are able to advise and execute distressed company transactions in today’s complex environment without engaging multiple, outside firms as local counsel.
