Bankruptcy & Restructuring
When organizations face financial uncertainty—whether due to market shifts, troubled capital structures, operational stress, burdensome contracts and leases, or distressed real estate—the Goulston & Storrs Bankruptcy & Restructuring Group delivers proactive, coordinated counsel to stabilize businesses, restructure obligations, and unlock opportunities for growth.
Operating company and commercial real estate debtors and borrowers, secured and unsecured lenders, private equity sponsors and other investors, landlords, liquidators, creditors’ committees, purchasers, and trustees turn to Goulston & Storrs to help maximize value and minimize liability in complex, high-stakes situations. We serve clients across industries —from financial services and healthcare to retail, real estate, hospitality, industrial, consumer products and technology—helping them navigate uncertainty and make informed, results-driven decisions. Our attorneys regularly appear in federal bankruptcy, district, and appellate courts nationwide. By combining legal precision with practical business insight—and collaborating closely with colleagues in corporate, real estate, litigation, finance, and tax—we deliver solutions that address the matter at hand in the context of each client’s broader business goals.
Our experience spans the full spectrum of restructuring, from in-court insolvency proceedings to out-of-court workouts. Private equity firms engage us to guide troubled portfolio companies through reorganizations and dispositions, while lenders trust us to restructure or enforce underperforming loans. Creditors’ committees turn to us to maximize recoveries using cost-effective strategies. Landlords value our role in guiding them through retail, office, restaurant and industrial bankruptcy cases nationwide and helping them achieve their objectives. Developers, strategic and financial buyers, retailers, hotel operators, and liquidators look to us for creative ways to acquire business and real estate assets from distressed entities or take control through the exercise of remedies, 363 sales, or Chapter 11 reorganizations. In addition, clients benefit from our depth in sophisticated financial transactions—including bilateral, club and syndicated loan facilities, asset-backed securitizations, and mezzanine and second lien financings. Collaboration with our corporate and real estate finance colleagues ensures that clients have access to our deep market knowledge to protect and enhance value.
