Our New York Loan Workout Attorneys Represent Creditors

Huntington lawyers negotiate to avoid debt discharges in bankruptcy

The Magnozzi Law Firm, P.C. negotiates loan workouts on behalf of creditors whose debtors are on the brink of Chapter 11 bankruptcy. As a creditor, you certainly do not want your debtors going into bankruptcy court and petitioning to shed their obligations to you. Likewise, your debtors must understand that bankruptcy is truly a last gasp effort for a business to stay open, and should not be filed until all other options have been exhausted. Our attorneys design those other options. We develop strategies to work out loan obligations so that both sides emerge better off.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the fallacy of the “clean slate”

Though Chapter 11 bankruptcy is meant to allow a business to restructure and get a fresh start, many never get a restructuring plan approved by the court, and of those who do, a significant percentage will be back in bankruptcy court within a few years. Most companies that file Chapter 11 bankruptcy never return to profitability.

Publicly held companies that file for bankruptcy see their stock prices plunge and working capital soon dries up. Talented employees whose job security is threatened start heading for the doors, adding to the instability of the company.

Huntington lawyers provide viable options outside of bankruptcy court

We work cooperatively with businesses and corporations as they explore options to restructure their operations and work out debt issues without resorting to Chapter 11 bankruptcy. We are often able to strike a deal on behalf of creditors that allows the business a fresh financial start while securing the repayment of loan obligations, all without a bankruptcy filing.

We help our clients explore their options for out-of-court workouts. We work closely with business, financial and accounting consultants to determine whether the debtor has a viable business restructuring alternative to Chapter 11. A loan workout may be a better option than bankruptcy when commercial loans, asset loans, SBA business loans and other debts exist.

Protecting the creditor’s interests

Our law firm represents creditors during the business reorganization and loan workout process. While our goal is to work with all parties involved to find a consensual solution, we are fully prepared to fight aggressively for our clients when the situation calls for it.

A key to working through debt issues without going into bankruptcy is convincing the debtor to commit to a business restructuring plan. We have the legal knowledge and business acumen to do so and its skilled negotiators will protect your interests throughout the process.
