  Creditor Rights in Bankruptcy
Complementing S&I’s collection and business/commercial litigation practice, is the Firm’s representation of creditors in the bankruptcy courts. S&I represents creditors in bankruptcy chapters 7, 11, 12 and 13, in all stages of the bankruptcy from securing collateral to filing adversary actions. With the goal of protecting and securing the client’s collateral, S&I has the experience in preparing the appropriate motions, including motions for relief from stay and motions to compel acceptance or rejection of executory contract and reaffirmation agreements. Our efforts to protect our clients’ interests also include opposing collateral valuations, objecting to plan confirmations that do not adequately protect our clients’ interest, and asserting the appropriate reclamation and/or administrative claims
We have also represented the interests of unsecured creditors by participating in the unsecured creditors committee in an effort to maximize the recovery to the unsecured creditors by evaluating decisions of the debtor to ensure all resources are utilized efficiently to allow and effective reorganization.
S&I’s practice also includes defending motions to avoid liens and actions to avoid and recover preferential transfers. S&I also has been successful in filing formal adversary actions to determine a the obligation nondischargeable in the bankruptcy forum where certain circumstances exist.
