Bankruptcy and restructuring in particular is a combination of litigation and negotiation of a business problem under the administrative control of the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Code provides a framework within which the debtor and its creditors must work to attain their goals. While the Bankruptcy Code provides the framework, the law that affects the parties is often the substantive commercial law of the state.  Often intellectual property law, tax law and employment law come into play as well. Both Mr. McBryan and Ms. Aczel have significant experience representing creditors, trustee and creditors committees in bankruptcy cases in which all these issues and more arose.  Additionally. Mr. McBryan has acted as debtor’s counsel in numerous cases.
