Forman Holt & Eliades LLC

Our clients face urgent challenges. The attorneys of Forman Holt Eliades & Ravin strive to deliver effective solutions.

We know the challenges. For years we have represented secured and unsecured creditors, debtors, franchisors, committees and trustees in resolving insolvency-related disputes across the commercial spectrum.

We have experience addressing the needs of all who come before the Bankruptcy Court. Our teams of attorneys focus on bankruptcy reorganizations and liquidations, bankruptcy litigation, restructurings and loan workouts and the related transactional work. We are known for handling some of the most complex and challenging insolvency work in the region.

In connection with our representation of financially distressed businesses, we work with our clients to assess the legal issues relating to their financial problems and to assist in defining realistic business goals and solutions. When possible, we seek to achieve our clients' objectives by working and cooperating with creditors. When necessary, we have the experience and expertise to seek appropriate relief in bankruptcy proceedings through proposed plans of reorganization, sales of businesses or their assets, or orderly liquidations.

We also assist in voluntary wind-ups and liquidations thereby avoiding the filing of bankruptcy proceedings. In these instances, we work closely with our clients to control and manage litigation and minimize the risk of involuntary bankruptcy filings.
