Bankruptcy, Insolvency & Restructuring
When issues related to bankruptcy become complex,
we’re the ones to call.
Whether it’s a trustee, a receiver, a monitor or someone on the creditor or debtor side, we help our clients navigate through complex situations, stewarding them to the best possible outcome. Our detailed understanding of insolvency and corporate law, and the nature of receivership, bankruptcy, CCAA plans of arrangement, proposals, look-sees and other restructurings and reorganizations comes from years of experience in secured financings, banking, conveyancing, trusts, securities, oil and gas, environmental, and litigation matters. Our insolvency practice has resulted in our lawyers acting as counsel in many of the major corporate insolvencies and reorganizations that have occurred in Alberta.
We can guide you through the following areas of bankruptcy, insolvency and restructuring law:
Corporate bankruptcy
Personal/consumer bankruptcy
Bankruptcy discharges
Proposals
Receivership
Proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act
Foreclosures
Corporate reorganizations
Security enforcement and collections
