Bankruptcies & Reorganizations

Morgan & Bley has extensive experience representing parties within the bankruptcy context. What differentiates Morgan & Bley from many other attorneys who handle bankruptcies is that we do not see bankruptcy as the solution to every instance of financial difficulty. While we believe bankruptcy to be an important tool, meeting with our attorneys can be as much about formulating strategies to keep you out of bankruptcy as helping to put you in it. Because we also have experience with non-bankruptcy work, we recommend bankruptcy for our clients only after taking a holistic approach to their needs and deciding it’s truly the best option.

In addition to representing parties in Chapter 7, 13, and 11, as well as out-of-court workouts, Morgan & Bley has extensive experience representing clients in associated litigation such as preference, avoidance, fraudulent conveyance, and dischage and dischargeability actions, including at the appellate level. Morgan & Bley has represented everybody involved in the bankruptcy process: debtors, creditors, trustees—even other attorneys in disciplinary-like proceedings brought by the U.S. Trustee.

Trial & Appellate Work

In addition to day-to-day litigation, Morgan & Bley has substantial experience in trial and appellate work, including to Seventh Circuit, to the Illinois Appellate Court, and bankruptcy-related appeals to various district courts.
