Our Approach

Our approach is always to evaluate the best and most efficient strategy in partnership with our client. From Orange County to Puerto Rico, we've been involved in advising the buy side in all major governmental restructurings of the past 25 years.

The Game Plan

We start with a deep understanding of our client's position and what they want to achieve. Then we apply our legal skill, industry knowledge, and contacts to learn the client's rights and remedies under both legal documents and applicable law. When a consensual resolution is not available or advisable, we evaluate the best and most efficient litigation strategies in partnership with our client to vigorously represent the client's interest in any court in the country.
