McBrayer, McGinnis, Leslie and Kirkland, PLLC routinely represents financial institutions, landlords, contractors, vendors, suppliers, guarantors, and other related or interested parties in Chapter 11, Chapter 7, Chapter 13 and Chapter 12 bankruptcy proceedings, including filing of claims, acquisition of adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay, protection and preservation of contract rights and unexpired leases, and all types of bankruptcy litigation. In particular, our attorneys economically assist our creditor clients with the evaluation, assessment and, if merited, litigation of non-dischargeability actions when fraud, embezzlement, conversion of collateral, or other willful and malicious conduct has occurred. Our bankruptcy team is also experienced at evaluating, defending and economically settling bankruptcy preference, fraudulent conveyance, lien avoidance, and stay violation claims brought, or threatened, by Chapter 11 debtors or bankruptcy trustees against unsecured creditors, lien holders, or trade vendors.
Through its other practice areas, such as divorce, real estate, foreclosure, business law, construction law, health care and civil litigation, McBrayer, McGinnis, Leslie and Kirkland, PLLC seamlessly assists its clients when a bankruptcy interrupts, or threatens to interrupt, the progress of litigation, commercial transactions, or the collection and enforcement of contract rights. Our firm frequently and successfully assists acquisition purchasers or liquidation sellers with the special problems and bankruptcy considerations inherent in distressed asset sales and purchases, and in the assumption and assignment of contracts or leases, both inside and outside of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings.

On the other side, for those experiencing financial distress, our lawyers effectively steer individuals, businesses, franchisees, equine and other agricultural enterprises, and distressed real estate owners through turnarounds and non-bankruptcy reorganizations and liquidations. Our firm's goal is to utilize its bankruptcy, litigation and commercial transactions knowledge and experience to find the best solution for its economically distressed clients. While bankruptcy is usually the last resort, it can also be a preferable strategic tool and it is vitally important to obtain one of our skilled lawyer's review and analysis to consider all potential forbearance, workout, liquidation, refinancing and bankruptcy options in virtually every litigation, transactional, or impending insolvency situation - and to do so as early as possible! Through years of carefully maintained credibility and trustworthy reputation, our attorneys can frequently negotiate non-bankruptcy solutions for debtors, thus avoiding the undesirable consequences, unusually large costs, and the inherent risks of a voluntary bankruptcy case. But, if a bankruptcy is required, our law firm represents debtors and debtors-in-possession in whichever chapter of bankruptcy is best for them.
