EmergeLaw is a boutique law firm focused on business bankruptcy, corporate reorganization, and creditors' rights. Serving clients across the Southeast, our experienced attorneys routinely represent debtors, committees, secured and unsecured creditors, investors, avoidance action defendants, and every other constituency in commercial bankruptcy cases, out-of-court workouts, and other complex matters where insolvency is an issue.
When we negotiate with banks and other creditors on a client's behalf, it's with the company's overarching goals, concerns, and priorities in mind. The aim of these negotiations - or workouts - is to reduce debt or extend payment terms and achieve the best possible solution. Often called an "out-of-court restructuring, " a workout is designed to get a company the relief it needs short of filing for Chapter 11 protection.
Chapter 11 is a complex legal action, and no company would choose it as a first resort. But when survival is on the line, Chapter 11 protection is a powerful tool that can be the difference between revitalization and liquidation.

We know how to achieve maximum value for our clients in a Chapter 11 case.
And we also understand that it's never a place our clients want to be.
Filing a Chapter 11 petition triggers an "automatic stay, " which stops nearly all lawsuits, collection actions, and payments on debts that existed prior to the filing.

Chapter 11 is most often used as a reorganization tool, but there are other situations where an entity might need the relief only Chapter 11 can provide.
These involve the sale of an operating business or significant assets, or when a company seeks to go out of business in an orderly manner.
Selling a business or assets inside Chapter 11 can be beneficial for two reasons.
First, the protection afforded by Chapter 11 gives a financially distressed company time to market and find the right buyer, and thereby maximize value.
