Represent licensors of intellectual property, service providers, and suppliers in receivership and bankruptcy cases locally and in Delaware and the Southern District of New York, among other places.

Assist client with filing proofs of claim and monitoring notices in the case in order to object where necessary to ensure that amounts in default are paid as a condition to the assumption and assignment of any contracts between the clients and the debtors in connection with a sale of assets or plan of reorganization, or that licenses are not assigned without the client’s consent. Service providers and suppliers may also have unique liens and rights to reclaim goods, which require legal analysis and protection.
