Creditors' Committees

Golden Goodrich LLP represents creditors’ committees in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. The firm advises committees on their fiduciary obligations, plan negotiations, asset valuations, the investigation of prepetition conduct, and the evaluation of proposed transactions. The firm’s attorneys work closely with committee members to ensure that unsecured creditors’ interests are protected throughout the reorganization process.

Serving on a creditors’ committee is a critical responsibility that demands experienced legal counsel. Golden Goodrich LLP guides committee members through their fiduciary duties, helping them understand their rights and obligations under the Bankruptcy Code. The firm advises committees on plan negotiations, disclosure statement adequacy, asset valuations, the investigation of the debtor’s prepetition conduct, and the evaluation of proposed transactions — including sales, financing, and settlements — that affect the value available for distribution to unsecured creditors.

The firm’s attorneys have represented creditors’ committees in many of the largest and most complex restructurings and bankruptcy proceedings in recent years, spanning industries including real estate, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and technology. Golden Goodrich LLP works to ensure that unsecured creditors receive meaningful distributions and that their voices are heard throughout the Chapter 11 process — from initial case administration through plan confirmation and beyond.

Golden Goodrich LLP also represents individual creditors and creditor groups outside the formal committee structure, advising on claim filing and enforcement, adequate protection, relief from the automatic stay, and objections to plan confirmation. The firm’s deep knowledge of Chapter 11 dynamics ensures that its clients’ interests are vigorously protected at every stage of the proceeding.
