Our Practices
Bankruptcy & Corporate Restructuring
Chapter 11 Debtor Reorganizations & Representations
One of the most challenging positions a business can find itself in is financial distress.
We make every attempt to avoid a Chapter 11 filing, opting for creative, out-of-court restructuring options, including consensual debt restructuring and financial recapitalization.
We have successfully restructured many companies outside of bankruptcy. In fact, many of our cases ultimately do not require a business to resort to filing for bankruptcy.
After exhausting all options
If bankruptcy is your business’ most viable restructuring solution, we leverage our extensive and broad-based experience representing Chapter 11 debtors in all kinds of restructuring situations and across multiple industries to achieve favorable results.
No time to waste
We know that time is of the essence when a reorganization is required. We act quickly and aggressively to evaluate your strategic options and identify your source of financial distress. We then devise and implement the most optimal, innovative approach to preserve your enterprise’s value – while keeping your business objectives front and center.

Client Perspective
The Cole Schotz team led by Michael Sirota and Ryan Jarek were outstanding partners to our Company during extremely challenging times. After years of working with many different firms, they quickly rose to the top of my list based upon their experience, professionalism and unique ability to anticipate issues before they became problems. They not only identified the challenges but proactively developed cost effective and efficient solutions based upon a wealth of knowledge and experience that saved the Company millions of dollars. They very quickly became key advisors to both our management team and our board, helping guide our long term strategic plans and short term tactical moves, all while providing full visibility into the range of potential outcomes so we were fully informed. The Cole Schotz team are clearly one of the most qualified and experienced firms, but more than that, they are outstanding partners who take ownership of their work and provide cost effective solutions for complex issues driving tremendous savings over the long run, I would highly recommend Cole Schotz to any organization.
