1. Corporate Restructuring and Turnaround Strategy Transforming Financial Crisis into Opportunity
Corporate distress requires more than balance sheet repair—it demands strategic reinvention.
At SJKP LLP, we identify financial and operational warning signs early, design turnaround plans, and coordinate negotiations with lenders, investors, and regulators.
Our attorneys lead out-of-court workouts, DIP financings, and Chapter 11 reorganizations. We also guide boards through fiduciary risk management and communication with stakeholders to restore confidence and business stability.
Early Restructuring Options
- Debt-for-equity swaps and recapitalization
- Creditor standstill and forbearance agreements
- Bridge financing and asset-backed loans
- Pre-packaged or pre-arranged Chapter 11 plans
Early engagement often allows businesses to recover without formal bankruptcy.
2. Individual and Consumer Bankruptcy Restoring Financial Freedom and a Fresh Start
Financial stress doesn’t only affect corporations—it affects people.
Job loss, medical bills, divorce, or unexpected debt can overwhelm anyone.
Our Bankruptcy & Restructuring attorneys help individuals, families, and small business owners navigate U.S. bankruptcy laws with compassion and precision, restoring control over their finances and rebuilding their futures.
We advise on Chapters 7 and 13 filings, alternatives to bankruptcy, and credit rebuilding strategies. Our goal is to ensure that every client emerges not defeated, but renewed.
Chapter 7 – Debt Elimination and Liquidation
Chapter 7 provides a full discharge of unsecured debts, allowing a fresh start. We assist clients in determining eligibility, protecting exempt property, and managing trustee communications. From credit card debt to medical bills, Chapter 7 is often the quickest path to financial relief.
Chapter 13 – Structured Repayment for Individuals
Chapter 13 allows individuals with steady income to restructure their debt through a 3–5 year repayment plan. We design affordable payment structures that protect homes, vehicles, and other essential assets while gradually eliminating debt.
Small Business Owners and Sole Proprietors
For entrepreneurs whose personal and business finances are intertwined, we coordinate both personal and corporate strategies—balancing debt discharge with business continuity.
We also counsel clients on credit rebuilding, secured debt management, and post-discharge planning.
3. Bankruptcy Litigation and Claims Resolution Protecting Rights in Complex Proceedings
Every restructuring involves disputes—over claims, collateral, or control.
Our litigation team represents debtors, creditors, and trustees in preference actions, fraudulent transfer cases, and claim objections. We also defend directors and fiduciaries from personal liability, ensuring compliance with bankruptcy code obligations.
Common Bankruptcy Disputes
- Preference and fraudulent transfer litigation
- Claim and plan objections
- Fiduciary liability and insider transactions
- Priority and lien disputes
We resolve conflicts efficiently to preserve value and allow clients to focus on rebuilding.
4. Cross-Border and Multinational Insolvency Managing Global Financial Exposure
Financial crises often span borders—and so must the solution.
Our cross-border team advises on Chapter 15 recognition, multinational workouts, and coordination with foreign insolvency administrators.
We assist corporations, investors, and financial institutions in harmonizing global restructuring strategies and asset recoveries.
We ensure that multi-jurisdictional proceedings remain efficient, transparent, and enforceable across global markets.
5. Distressed M&A and Asset Sales Acquiring or Divesting in Times of Distress
Distress can be an opportunity—for both buyers and sellers.
We counsel clients on distressed acquisitions, Section 363 sales, and investment in restructured entities. Our lawyers manage due diligence, risk allocation, and regulatory approvals to close deals under pressure while protecting long-term value.
Key Considerations
- Valuation and successor liability -
- Bid procedures and stalking-horse agreements
- Court approvals and bidding protections
- Post-closing integration and risk mitigation
6. Out-of-Court Workouts and Alternatives to Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is not always the only answer.
We help clients restructure debt privately through settlements, refinancing, and mediation. These solutions maintain privacy, minimize reputational harm, and avoid the cost of formal proceedings.
Our approach blends negotiation, business strategy, and creditor coordination to achieve relief without court intervention.
