Workouts, Foreclosures, and Receiverships

The lawyers in the Real Estate Group and the firm’s Creditors' Rights and Bankruptcy Group are nationally known for their expertise in handling debt restructurings and workouts of real estate projects. The firm’s collective expertise in workouts, restructuring, and bankruptcy law allows us to handle all facets of restructuring and insolvency matters, ranging from forbearance agreements, loan modifications, judicial and non-judicial enforcement proceedings, deed-in-lieu agreements and receiverships in the non-bankruptcy context, to cash collateral disputes, debtor in possession financings, and relief from stay and Chapter 11 plan confirmation proceedings. Perhaps no area of legal practice other than workouts is as much a function of the “art of the practical,” and our real estate lawyers’ years of experience in the real estate industry and in structuring and handling real estate transactions, combined with our legal expertise and our practical, solution-oriented approach, uniquely qualifies us to advise clients on solutions to the problems encountered in dealing with troubled real estate assets. A more detailed description of the services offered by the firm’s Creditors' Rights and Bankruptcy Group and the types of workout transactions in which the Creditors' Rights and Bankruptcy Group and the Real Estate Group have been involved is available upon request. In addition, Orrick’s Tokyo office has been involved in over 100 acquisitions, NPL and REO Property portfolios since the market developed in 1997, and a separate description of our experience in the Japanese market is also available upon request.
