Bankruptcy Law

Although enactment of the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform legislation altered the landscape in many ways, encounters with bankruptcy remain an unfortunate fact of life for many businesses and individuals, both as creditors and debtors.

Kalina, Wills, Gisvold & Clark, P.L.L.P., has lawyers with extensive experience in bankruptcy-related matters. In bankruptcy cases, our lawyers have represented secured creditors, unsecured creditors, committees, trustees, and debtors. Outside of bankruptcy, our lawyers are experienced in “work-out” arrangements, both from the creditor and debtor side.

Our experience in representing bankruptcy trustees in preference and fraudulent transfer litigation provides valuable insight and knowledge when we represent creditors sued as defendants in such “avoidance” actions. Our experience in non-bankruptcy areas, such as motor transport, warehouse liens, real estate, and environmental matters provides valuable support for clients when bankruptcy gives rise to issues related to such non-bankruptcy areas.
