Hagood & Kerr, PA - Practice Areas - Bankruptcy & Insolvency

The Bankruptcy and Insolvency practice has experience and expertise in a wide variety of bankruptcy and debtor-creditor related matters. The group's practice includes debtor, creditor and fiduciary representations in bankruptcy proceedings, pre-bankruptcy “workout” and insolvency counseling, and related state court litigation involving receiverships, attachments, real and personal property foreclosure actions.

CREDITOR REPRESENTATION
The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Group attends to a substantial representation of a variety of creditor interests in both judicial and non-judicial proceedings. Representative clients include trustees and secured and unsecured creditors. Individual clients include, for the most part, major banks, federal credit unions and other institutional lenders, in addition to equipment lessors and landlords.

Our creditor representation includes efforts to restructure debt through informal workout negotiations as well as legal proceedings to foreclose security interests or mortgages and for recovery of personal property. In bankruptcy court proceedings, our services on behalf of individual creditors have specifically included actions to recover funds or property on behalf of such creditors as well as other actions.

LITIGATION
The Firm handles all aspects of bankruptcy litigation, including fraudulent transfer claims, preference actions, claims litigation, and directors and officers' litigation, and securities litigation. We also represent clients in conducting arbitrations, mediations and alternative dispute resolution proceedings, providing them with a cost effective alternative to litigation.
