COVID-19 Focus on Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused dislocation in almost every sector of the economy. Every day, market participants including working capital and asset lenders, suppliers, commercial real estate and equipment lessors, banks, service companies and investors must consider how best to restructure their existing transactions, navigate a constantly changing regulatory environment and position themselves in the event of a bankruptcy filing by their clients and counterparties. At the same time, well positioned buyers may find significant opportunities for asset purchases and investments as struggling companies seek to raise capital.

Holland & Knight’s bankruptcy and creditors’ rights lawyers are using their deep experience and knowledge base to assist clients in developing creative solutions for addressing the economic impact of the pandemic, identify, create and take advantage of opportunities, avoid pitfalls and plan for the unknown. We partner with attorneys from across the firm to leverage our expertise on behalf of our clients in every industry sector, including transportation, real estate and hospitality, structured finance, private equity, secured lending, public and private finance, healthcare, education, retail, professional services and manufacturing. As national thought leaders, our lawyers are continuously publishing timely alerts, leading webinars and round table discussions and otherwise hosting and participating in events designed to assist our clients in navigating these challenging times.
