Sterns & Weinroth's Bankruptcy/Creditors' Rights Practice enjoys a statewide reputation for excellence in this highly complex field. The group is noted both for the breadth of its experience and the outstanding results it obtains for the firm's clients. The group's attorneys represent secured and unsecured creditors, lenders, debtors-in-possession, trustees, creditors' committees and other parties in interest in all types of bankruptcy, insolvency and work-out matters. In addition, the group handles complex foreclosure, replevin and related UCC Article 9 matters in state and federal courts. Sterns & Weinroth also has earned a well-deserved reputation for successfully steering defendants through the often turbulent waters of bankruptcy litigation initiated by trustees and debtors.

The group's attorneys have been actively involved in a large number of significant Chapter 11 cases filed in the District of New Jersey and in several outside the state. Andrea Dobin, the group's Chair, is a member of the panel of bankruptcy trustees in New Jersey and, as such, administers an enormous variety of consumer and corporate bankruptcy cases. Other attorneys in the group have distinguished themselves as leading authors and lecturers in the field and have actively served in a multitude of professional groups.

In addition to their expertise in insolvency litigation and bankruptcy proceedings, the group's attorneys regularly represent clients in out-of-court workouts, especially borrowers who, because of unforeseen circumstances, may require new negotiations with their lenders and trade creditors. These negotiations can be painstaking and complex, but Sterns & Weinroth's attorneys have the knowledge and experience to obtain highly favorable results for clients without the need for costly and time-consuming bankruptcy filings.

The firm's Bankruptcy/Creditors' Rights Practice takes pride in both its responsiveness to clients and its cost-effective and highly efficient approaches to problems and issues.

The attorneys practicing in this area in our Bankruptcy/Creditors' Rights group include: Graig P. Corveleyn,  Andrea Dobin  and Douglas J. McDonough.
