Financial Crisis Response Team

In today's tumultuous economic climate, it is an unavoidable reality that nearly every business will face internal financial challenges. Sooner or later, virtually every company will also have business dealings with one or more financially distressed entities. So the question is no longer what to do if a financial issue arises, but how to respond when it does.

As companies navigate this new economic reality, choosing the right legal counsel is more important than ever. Uncertain times require relevant experience, a broad view of today's business realities and a steady hand. You need a legal advisor with the ability to identify and implement strategies aimed at both recovery and prevention.

The multidisciplinary Financial Crisis Response Team at Much Shelist brings together highly qualified attorneys from each of the firm's primary practice groups to help clients address their complex business and financial concerns. Just as the best health care system offers a mix of general practitioners and specialists, our full-service team includes attorneys who understand our clients' companies and industries inside and out, along with lawyers who have in-depth knowledge of specific aspects of law and business.

The Financial Crisis Response Team includes members of the firm's Business & Finance; Creditors' Rights, Insolvency & Bankruptcy; Litigation & Dispute Resolution; and Real Estate groups. No matter the industry—manufacturing, retailing, professional services, real estate, health care, or banking and finance—we regularly represent debtors and creditors, borrowers and lenders, buyers and sellers, and parties on all sides of the negotiating table. We also maintain deep relationships with a valuable network of turnaround consultants, trustees, assignees for the benefit of creditors, accountants, lenders, investment bankers, appraisers and auctioneers, loan brokers, real estate brokers and other professionals who provide services related to financial distress situations.

With a deep understanding of the current economic landscape, our attorneys take a forward-thinking approach to our clients' business and financial concerns, identifying potential risks before they become problems and developing strategies that mitigate the effects of a weakened marketplace.
