With nearly a 60-year legacy, SulmeyerKupetz is one of the premier financial restructuring and litigation firms in California, with an emphasis on dispute resolution arising out of commercial disputes, and insolvency and bankruptcy matters. Our attorneys represent debtors, creditors, trustees, receivers, committees, buyers, sellers, professionals and other parties. The firm's wide ranging practice in this area is demonstrated by the vast experience of our attorneys in every aspect and facet of financial restructuring and litigation, both in federal and state court, and in out-of-court workouts.
SulmeyerKupetz attorneys bring a specialized expertise to our clients and to the cases we handle, derived collectively from generations of experience in select areas of the law. With two attorneys serving as Federal Bankruptcy Trustees and others acting as State Court appointed Receivers, the firm has an enviable history of trustee and receiver practice and representation in corporate reorganizations and complex liquidations. The firm also has a unique background in Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcies, having handled landmark cases in that arena for both municipalities and claimants. For nearly four decades the Firm has distinguished itself in the area of commercial collections, locally, regionally and nationwide, and we continue to add to our litigation expertise and capabilities.
Always on the cutting edge, SulmeyerKupetz responded to the need for alternative restructuring and liquidation options, and has expanded its non-judicial workout practice. In that vein, the firm has become a leading expert in Assignments for the Benefit of Creditors and other cost effective means of addressing insolvency related problems and achieving goals for our clients outside of the courts. We of course still take pride in our long standing expertise in traditional Chapter 11 reorganizations.
At SulmeyerKupetz strength is found in the firm's experience and manageable size, which enables the firm to react quickly and intelligently to any client need. Finally, the firm's long held regional presence enables it to provide unique insight to the needs of clients within the state and surrounding areas.
The attorneys at SulmeyerKupetz service our clients in all areas of financial restructuring, insolvency, business reorganization, federal and state court litigation, and bankruptcy and bankruptcy related litigation.
