Faegre & Benson represents clients in complex corporate bankruptcy cases, debt restructurings, and related litigation matters. Our clients include secured and unsecured creditors, indenture trustees, private investment funds, corporations, and unsecured creditors committees. We provide a focused team that understands and can implement your business objectives worldwide.

We are leaders in establishing creditors' rights. Our lawyers have pursued bankruptcy-specific matters to the United States Supreme Court. We won the leading case endorsing application of the absolute priority rule, providing unsecured creditors with their greatest leverage in blocking unfair plans of reorganization.

We also handle sophisticated corporate trust and fiduciary matters, representing indenture trustees and investors in large corporate trust defaults. Our lawyers represented the trustee in the largest broker-dealer liquidation under the Securities Investor Protection Act—a case in which our successful pursuit of fraud claims against a major international bank resulted in the payment of all creditor claims and a partial return to equity holders.
