Godfrey & Kahn's Business Finance & Restructuring Group represents clients in matters ranging from informal workouts to sophisticated corporate reorganizations. Over the last several years, we have served as debtor's counsel in some of the largest corporate reorganizations in Wisconsin. However, our practice is not limited to only bankruptcy. We assist secured and unsecured creditors in maximizing their recovery in connection with problem credits. We help clients locate and select the right source of financing to meet their needs. We facilitate accommodations from trade creditors. We represent buyers and sellers of troubled businesses. And, we help plan for the effect that financial distress of others may have on our clients.

Our attorneys have years of experience in all aspects of commercial and creditors' rights law, including the refinancing and reorganization of insolvent companies. Financial reorganization often touches every aspect of a business. To insure that our client's underlying problems are addressed using the most appropriate legal solutions, we work with attorneys from the Firm's other practice areas who have developed particular expertise with reorganization issues in their areas.

The Business Finance & Restructuring Group's experience and skill, combined with Godfrey & Kahn's breadth of expertise in all aspects of business law, make us one of the premier business debtors' reorganization firms in Wisconsin. In recent years, we have assisted clients in successful reorganizations in such businesses as food processing, equipment manufacturing, professional services, wholesaling, retailing, publishing, franchising, wholesale distribution, and real estate development. We are especially proud to have assisted in restructuring numerous businesses that have become profitable for their owners, remained good employers, and brought maximum recovery to creditors.
