The Firm represented the Chapter 11 Trustee of an individual developer who owned a number of large parcels of real property in various stages of development, including large residential tracts and parcels under development for
big box stores. The principal secured creditor staked out a position at the beginning of the case adverse to the Debtor and the Trustee, and the Trustee was able to forestall foreclosure of the properties thus enabling the Trustee to ultimately confirm a plan of reorganization providing for the sale of the properties for the benefit of creditors and paid a 100 cent dividend to creditors with interest. In that regard, he had to first deal with hundreds of secured (mechanic's lien) and unsecured creditors and scores of tax claims, secured and unsecured, in a number of different counties. |
