Directors & Officers Liability

Our attorneys have successfully litigated claims resulting from the improper acts or omissions of directors, officers and other professionals in the discharge of their duties which have arisen in or are related to corporate bankruptcy and insolvency.  Such claims do not always arise in the context of bankruptcy or insolvency; however, the pre-bankruptcy acts and decisions of directors and officers often become the subject of scrutiny by a trustee or creditors' committee once the corporation enters the bankruptcy arena.

In bankruptcy-related litigation against directors and officers, a careful assessment of the prosecution or defense of such claims is critical.  This requires an intricate understanding of the governing precepts of such claims under both the Bankruptcy Code and corporate law.  Our attorneys are well-versed in bankruptcy and corporate law and the firm has been authorized by bankruptcy courts to represent the interests of the bankruptcy estate and its creditors in connection with prosecuting such claims.  Our attorneys have also defended against director and officer liability claims brought by panel or liquidating trustees.
