Zeisler & Zeisler has more attorneys practicing in the insolvency and bankruptcy reorganization field than any other firm in Connecticut. Our insolvency professionals are ranked among the Nation’s best.
The firm’s insolvency group regularly handles Connecticut’s largest business bankruptcy reorganizations and was chosen by the City of Bridgeport to prosecute its landmark Chapter 9 (municipal) bankruptcy. We have represented unsecured creditors’ committees in many of the region’s largest Chapter 11 cases, including the Handy & Harman Refining Group, Inc. and Servam International, Inc. cases. Our recent Chapter 11 debtor clients include Cannondale Corporation, Country Home Bakers, Inc. and Lancer Partners, L.P., one of the first domestic hedge fund bankruptcies.
Zeisler & Zeisler’s insolvency attorneys include two former adjunct bankruptcy law professors, two former bankruptcy judge law clerks, two former chairmen of the Connecticut Bar Association’s Commercial Law and Bankruptcy Section and a former president of the Greater Bridgeport Bar Association. Additionally, our group includes one attorney certified in Business Bankruptcy Law by the American Board of Certification.
We pride ourselves on crafting cost-effective and creative solutions to the difficult problems faced by businesses in financial distress, their lenders, trade creditors and all parties affected by corporate insolvency.
Zeisler & Zeisler has an outstanding group of commercial litigators who are engaged in a wide variety of complex matters, including fraudulent transfer litigation, complex contract disputes, securities and corporate governance litigation, tax litigation, white collar criminal defense, accounting malpractice litigation, partnership disputes, and employment and ERISA litigation. The firm’s commercial litigation group also has expertise in representing investors seeking recovery against former brokers and clearing firms under Chapter 11 and the Securities Investor Protection Act.
Zeisler & Zeisler’s transactional, real estate and corporate group regularly handles significant asset-based lending matters for the area’s major lenders. We represent buyers and sellers engaged in complex commercial, corporate and real estate transactions. Because of our extensive Chapter 11 practice, we are routinely charged with liquidating significant corporate assets and entire companies on a fast-track basis, where maximizing recovery and minimizing expense is paramount.
