Loan Restructuring & Workouts

Representing lenders, syndicated lending groups, debt funds and sellers and acquirers of problem loans, in situations involving both restructuring and liquidating troubled debt

Our attorneys work collaboratively with our commercial finance, real estate finance, litigation, and bankruptcy departments to provide our clients with an integrated and fully supported approach to addressing and resolving the issues and problems that arise in a lending relationship or the life cycle of a loan arrangement. Our attorneys in the loan restructuring/workout department represent lenders, syndicated lending groups, debt funds and sellers and acquirers of problem loans, in situations involving both restructuring and liquidating troubled debt. We also represent lenders involved in asset-based loans, cash flow transactions, equipment leases, and real estate loans of all sorts, including hotels, shopping centers, office properties, healthcare facilities, and industrial property.

Our practice ranges from middle market, single-lender loans to complex multi-lender participations and syndicated credits across the country, and often involves cross-border considerations. The matters in regard to which we represent lenders include a wide spectrum of industries, including manufacturing, retail, real estate development, high tech, and healthcare. Riemer & Braunstein has substantial experience in enforcing the rights and remedies of our clients both inside and outside of bankruptcy court and other insolvency proceedings, including assignments for the benefit of creditors, receiverships and trust mortgages. In the enforcement of creditors’ rights, we work closely with our litigation and bankruptcy departments. In coordination with the litigation and bankruptcy departments, we appear in state courts around the country, sometimes in conjunction with local counsel, and have established a reputation in the representation of creditors in bankruptcy courts around the country. We regularly work with equity sponsors, restructuring advisors and auditors in order to assist our clients in maximizing recovery while mitigating risk and expense.
