Creditors’ Committees are often formed in midsize to large Chapter 11 cases. The creditors’ committee is an integral part of the bankruptcy process. We have represented numerous creditors’ committees over the years assisting them with the fulfilling of their fiduciary obligations, including evaluating purchase or restructuring offers, investigating insider dealings, analyzing liens of secured creditors and negotiating and/or proposing plans of reorganization with debtors.
