Business Reorganization and Creditors’ Rights Group

Kaye Scholer has one of the largest and most experiencedgroups of attorneys in the country dedicated exclusively torestructuring and bankruptcy work. The firm offers clients acomprehensive, nationwide restructuring and insolvencypractice based in our offices in New York, Chicago and LosAngeles. Our clients include agents for syndicates of lenders,individual lenders and lessors, equity sponsors and theirportfolio companies, debtors, indenture trustees, fiduciariesand committees.

Our client base is made up of some of the world’s largestcorporations, banks and other financial service institutions.The firm excels in resolving complex issues whether in thecontext of an out-of-court restructuring or a bankruptcyproceeding in addition to working through complicatedstructures, many of which involve cross-border issues.

We pride ourselves on our innovative approach to insolvencyproblem solving. When Johns-Manville was confronted with theproblem of dealing comprehensively with its asbestos liability,for example, our attorneys developed a channeling injunctionthat later was codified in the Bankruptcy Code and that hasbecome the template for the restructuring of similarly situatedcompanies. In the White Motor bankruptcy, we established thelegal principle that substantially all of a company’s assets canbe sold outside a plan, in a case that is universally cited as theprecedent for the ability to treat a company as a perishableasset and to effect its sale under Section 363 of theBankruptcy Code. In addition, many of the leading financialinstitutions have called on Kaye Scholer attorneys to advisethem on complicated restructuring and insolvency transactions.The firm represented the senior secured lender group in Aladdin Gaming. This engagement spanned the pre-bankruptcy workout period, the bankruptcy restructuring,the DIP financing and the exit financing for the purchase ofAladdin’s business as part of its reorganization plan.

We view the bankruptcy process as a planning tool ratherthan as an end in itself. Properly used, it can create anenvironment in which operations can be stabilized,management issues addressed and assets positioned forrecapitalization. Over the years, we have participated in thepurchase, sale or restructuring of dozens of businesses in avariety of industries.

As a testament to the problem-solving approach we bring tothe corporate restructuring area, a number of our partnershave been asked to serve on the boards of directors ofreorganized or recapitalized entities. Our members haveserved on the boards of REITs or operating entities in the realestate development, entertainment, environmental andinformation technology industries.
