Representation of Trustees and Receivers

Stacey Meisel and Ben Becker regularly serve as trustee and/or receiver in federal bankruptcy and state court receivership proceedings.  Our bankruptcy, insolvency and creditors’ rights attorneys often serve as counsel to Ms. Meisel and Mr. Becker in these matters as well as counsel other trustees and receivers who retain this Firm to represent them in matters.

The Firm is well known for its ability to assist trustees and receivers in determining the best means of maximizing the value of assets available for distribution to creditors.  In Chapter 11 cases, our bankruptcy, insolvency and creditors’ rights attorneys are often called upon to help Chapter 11 trustees in analyzing whether reorganization is feasible and, if so, to negotiate and implement the plan of reorganization.

We are versed at assisting trustees and receivers in marshalling and liquidating assets.  Because of a wealth of institutional knowledge within the Firm in this area, our bankruptcy, insolvency and creditors’ rights attorneys are often asked to play an integral role in determining the most efficient and effective means for selling tangible assets – whether through public or private sale.  They often rely upon the experience of attorneys in our real estate, corporate and litigation departments to assist them in liquidating both tangible and intangible assets.

Ms. Meisel and Mr. Becker have conducted dozens of internal investigations into the propriety of acts of past management, officers and directors and have overseen financial audits of the books and records of numerous corporations for the purposes of tracing finances and investigating potential fraudulent or otherwise improper transfers of assets.
