Combining depth of experience, industry-specific knowledge and legal acumen, Pillsbury’s Insolvency & Restructuring team helps creditor clients resolve obligations owed to them promptly in and out of state and federal courts.
Pillsbury’s Insolvency & Restructuring team represents lender, landlord and other creditor clients, addressing disputes promptly to reach agreement, and when necessary, aggressively pursuing client rights and remedies through litigation. Among our core strengths is handling complex and sophisticated creditors’ rights for national and international financial institutions. We also represent nontraditional banking clients, like hedge funds and private equity firms, in distressed transactions. Pillsbury has been particularly successful in recovering on troubled commercial and real estate loans and in enforcement of clients’ rights as creditors of insolvent or bankrupt entities in industries hardest hit during the U.S. economic downturn.
We possess a deep understanding of our clients’ industries and listen closely to their goals to determine the best course to resolve obligations owed to them whether through restructuring or enforcement. We address disputes firmly avoiding emotional arguments that escalate costs, distract from best results or lead to unfounded counterclaims. These efforts often achieve greater lenders/creditors recoveries than selling to purchasers of the problem credits. If the parties cannot resolve matters reasonably, we often initiate litigation seeking prejudgment remedies to protect our clients’ recoveries and expedite resolutions. If litigation causes a bankruptcy filing, we have the necessary experience for that as well.

Representing clients ranging from large multinational corporations to individuals, partnerships and LLCs, we provide sophisticated, yet pragmatic and timely legal advice, protecting client rights and resolving all types of disputes over contract and credit obligations, investment recoveries, opposing party fraud and nonperformance.
In each instance, we conduct a thorough analysis of the documents and facts to identify weaknesses in the legal position, competing claimants, key assets for a recovery and the best approach to maximize recoveries whether through a restructure or enforcement. For our landlord clients, which include commercial property owners, we facilitate lease terminations that remove tenants from the property with or without litigation, and argue on their behalf in their tenants’ bankruptcies regarding amounts owed and treatment of their leases. We also obtain receivers, when appropriate. We focus on the financial condition of the obligor, the steps to improve our client’s position for a recovery and the options to best protect our clients under the various scenarios that can occur.
Our industries’ knowledge and experience enable us to deal with the liens, regulations and business factors that are specific to particular industries. Examples of areas where we have developed deep experience include:
