Faegre & Benson represents financial institutions, indenture trustees, corporations, and other creditors in large bankruptcy cases throughout the United States. The ability to effectively litigate substantive rights is crucial to any bankruptcy case representation. Our litigation team has experience with all matters arising in or relating to a bankruptcy case, including:

• Jurisdiction and venue
• Removal and remand
• Breach of fiduciary duty
• Contested confirmation hearings
• Cash collateral hearings
• Fraudulent transfers
• Preferential transfers
• DIP financing hearings
• Appointment of trustee or examiner
• Complex claims objections

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 have been instrumental in establishing and administering litigation trusts arising out of bankruptcy cases to substantially increase the recovery to creditors.
