Distressed Mergers & Acquisition

Acquisitions of or mergers with troubled companies carry risk. Find out how the Bankruptcy Courts can minimize or eliminate that risk. Difficult times can create opportunities for acquisition of troubled companies or divestiture of non-core business lines. CM Law’s attorneys have decades of experience advising clients in virtually all aspects of distressed transactions across the U.S. and globally. We mobilize resources quickly and negotiate solutions under demanding, time-sensitive circumstances.

Distressed companies can represent attractive acquisition targets—their debt often trades at a discount, and they may be under pressure to sell assets quickly. Our collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams help clients acquire distressed companies through every possible entry point:

  • Section 363 bankruptcy sales
  • Chapter 11 reorganization plans
  • Foreclosure sales & secured party sales
  • Receiverships & other distressed sale processes
  • Stock purchases, asset purchases & debt acquisitions

We work closely with attorneys across CM Law’s corporate, M&A, securities, litigation, tax, real estate, labor, and regulatory practice groups to deliver a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to every distressed transaction.
