As a leading provider of cross-border legal solutions globally, we have extensive experience not only representing U.S. firms overseas but also representing firms from Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region in bankruptcy proceedings and insolvency litigation in the United States.
Our Financial Restructuring lawyers expertly combine their experience in various jurisdictions (e.g., China, Vietnam, Thailand, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States), with legal practices often relevant in financial restructurings (e.g., intellectual property, real estate and manufacturing law) to pursue the strongest legal strategies for our clients.
We have represented a wide range of clients—including senior secured creditors, banks and financial institutions, special servicers, purchasers, private equity and hedge funds, lessors and landlords, and Fortune 500 debtors—in every aspect of bankruptcy proceedings and insolvency litigation. From first day motions through plan confirmation, as well as appeals of adverse decisions, we have the experience and expertise to navigate the complexities of bankruptcy law. We have also assisted clients with purchasing assets out of bankruptcy estates, including power plants and large real estate projects.
In addition to bankruptcy, we have been involved in hundreds of receivership actions. We have represented secured creditors, receivers, and other interested parties across a variety of insolvent asset classes, including hotels and luxury resorts, restaurant chains and franchises, gas stations and convenience stores, medical device companies, computer re-distributors, energy and power plants, as well as office buildings and strip malls.
We have also assisted clients in structuring securitizations and pre-securitized loans, including providing non-consolidation opinions, true sale opinions, and other opinion work.
In approaching financial restructuring challenges on behalf of our clients, Harris Sliwoski draws on our deep multi-jurisdictional knowledge of bankruptcy law, tax law, international law, corporate law, and regulatory law. Our advice takes all these elements into account, as well as our deep knowledge of local business and regulatory environments, to develop strategic, cost-effective winning solutions for our clients.

Legal stuff is always scary. And I’ve had to play offense a couple times, begrudgingly. To have Harris Sliwoski have my back? It made things a lot less prickly. They quickly walked me through my options, and were refreshingly consistent in their communications, timing and billing. I’ve been lucky to stay out of the legal side of things my whole career, thankfully. When things went a little wrong, Harris Sliwoski quickly made things right.

I have been working with the lawyers at Harris Sliwoski for more than 20 years both as a business owner and as an executive at a large east-coast health system and that is because they have always efficiently provided high level and clear international law advice. Most recently, Harris Sliwoski provided legal support on many matters related to procuring medical products worldwide. Their support was particularly helpful to during the onset of COVID, when there was a big need for securing PPE quickly, all while navigating complicated international and domestic legal requirements. Harris Sliwoski’s team of international lawyers helped by conducting rapid-fire due diligence on potential suppliers, navigating the legal logistics for getting product from overseas and through U.S. customs, and drafting contracts to protect against various sorts of horribles. They did this by essentially providing what amounted to 24/7 service. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

When we started the process of building a ‘seed to sale’ cannabis company in Oregon, we saw the need for expert legal counsel. The cannabis sector is fraught with potential peril at every turn, and we wanted the best legal advice we could find. After talking to several firms and individuals, we feel extremely fortunate to have chosen Harris Sliwoski as our legal counsel.
We use Harris Sliwoski on all our international legal matters, including on our international litigation matters. We have over the last few years been involved in a couple big international legal disputes and Harris Sliwoski’s international dispute resolution team provided us with expert legal assistance on both matters. They were always very careful to explain to us what they were doing and why and what their actions would likely cost us in legal fees. Most importantly, we did extremely well on both cases and I have no doubt Harris Sliwoski was a big factor in that.
We have used Harris Sliwoski for legal help related to our international manufacturing.
