Gelormino Law, P.A. represents secured and unsecured creditors in a broad array of matters that arise in Chapter 7, 11, or 13 bankruptcy proceedings.

Creditor Issues in Bankruptcy Cases

Businesses routinely face legal issues in the bankruptcy context even when they are not the party filing for bankruptcy. A common scenario involves a corporate business partner (e.g., customers, suppliers, etc.) that runs into financial difficulties and, consequently, seeks protection under federal bankruptcy laws while it restructures the company’s debt obligations or liquidates its assets.

Businesses with prior and ongoing commercial dealings with the debtor may swiftly face uncertainty as to what specific rights and remedies they have, how to protect their interests, and when to act to meet critical deadlines. They may also become a target of a lawsuit within the bankruptcy (particularly to pull assets they received from the debtor back into the bankruptcy estate) or get entangled in a dispute that requires them to initiate a lawsuit. Therefore, it is important to seek legal advice from experienced counsel who can assist in navigating the complexities of the bankruptcy process.

Gelormino Law represents secured and unsecured creditors, ranging from small to large businesses, in a wide range of matters that arise in Chapter 7, 11, or 13 bankruptcy proceedings, including:
