A bit about us

We're a well‑established, full‑service law firm with roots going back more than 60 years and a 200+ attorney footprint across New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. Our Bankruptcy, Reorganization + Creditors' Rights practice, working closely with our broader Litigation Group, represents institutional lenders, collateral managers, hedge funds, and other asset‑based lenders in commercial disputes — default‑based workouts, residential and commercial foreclosure actions, commercial collections, and judgment enforcement. Legal 500 named us a top U.S. law firm for the 18th consecutive year running, ranking eight of our practices as top‑tier nationally, and our litigation and creditor's rights work is built the same way: sophisticated, lender‑side matters handled with direct partner involvement.

Why join us?

This is a seat handling substantive state court litigation on behalf of institutional lenders, not a desk churning through routine collections work. You'll get hands‑on experience with foreclosure actions, mortgage and security interest enforcement, and judgment enforcement litigation, with direct exposure to loan workouts and Article 9 proceedings alongside a team that handles this work at a sophisticated level. If you want real ownership of creditor's rights matters rather than a supporting role on a big‑firm assembly line, this is that opportunity.
