Cohn Whitesell & Goldberg LLP is Boston's leading boutique law firm addressing the problems of distressed companies. Formed in 1990, the firm's practice extends throughout the northeastern United States, and includes out-of-court debt restructuring, Chapter 11 reorganizations, acquisition of distressed businesses, all aspects of bankruptcy law and related litigation. The firm also serves as mediator or arbitrator for purposes of alternative dispute resolution. Main areas or practice include:

Debtors

Cohn Whitesell & Goldberg LLP represents public and private companies in financial distress, primarily in the middle market (sales of $25 to $500 million). The firm's debtor practice includes out-of-court debt restructurings, Chapter 11 reorganizations in courts throughout the eastern United States, and receiverships in federal and state courts. Generally the firm works in association with non-bankruptcy counsel ­ often the troubled company's long-time corporate counsel ­ so that the company can combine CWG's unique capabilities, experience and judgement in debt restructuring with the expertise of skilled lawyers in other fields.

Acquirers/Equity Sponsors

The firm represents strategic and financial acquirers of troubled companies and assets in balancing the unique opportunities and risks that result from financial distress.  The firm also represents equity sponsors with troubled portfolio companies, whether the objective is to reacquire the business or manage risk.

Committees, Landlords, Suppliers

Cohn Whitesell & Goldberg LLP represents creditors' committees, landlords, suppliers and others with a stake in distressed businesses. This practice area includes defense of litigation alleging preferential and fraudulent transfers, breaches of fiduciary duties and other insolvency-related matters.
