Neal Gerber Eisenberg’s award-winning financial restructuring and bankruptcy practice has played leading roles in nationally significant restructurings of public and private companies across the country. We represent lenders, creditors’ committees and financially distressed companies in the full range of insolvency matters, from out-of-court restructurings to formal reorganization and liquidation proceedings.

The Turnaround Management Association presented our restructuring practice in 2010 with its Mid-Size Transaction of the Year Award. The award honors and recognizes professionals who led transactions that “rescued companies from the shadow of complete ruin.” In addition, Chambers USA has labeled the practice as a leader, reporting that “its experience in out-of-court restructurings, reorganizations and liquidation has gained it respect from peers and admiration from clients.” U.S.News-Best Lawyers’ 2012 Best Law Firms survey also ranked the practice as among the best in the nation.
