Commercial and Bankruptcy

Commercial law issues typically arise when business and equipment financing arrangements are sought, obtained, renewed, extended, or modified. Such issues can also arise when new equipment acquisition financing – such as revolving credit and line-of-credit facilities – is needed or renewed. Additional commercial law issues may include:

  • Negotiation and structuring of credit facilities, equipment financing, and other debt arrangements
  • Letter of credit facilities
  • Pursuit of collection efforts (including bad debt checks/debt)
  • Uniform Commercial Code matters
  • Litigation of a wide variety of other commercial law matters that arise in the day-to-day operation of a transportation company

Our attorneys are experienced in helping transportation companies as they embark on a wide array of debt financing and capitalization issues. However, from a more proactive angle, we often counsel clients on the importance of starting with a solid contract from the beginning so they don’t end up in a position wherein the contract executed has set an unfavorable course for negotiations. We have been involved in constructing a myriad of unconventional lending/borrowing arrangements and can provide keen insight on exactly what principal, mezzanine, and other more subordinated lenders will deem an acceptable structure for such transactions. We have decades of experience in helping clients identify untapped internal and external financial resources to augment their financial position.

Bankruptcy law issues often arise for motor carriers are customers, shippers, brokers, and other carriers file bankruptcy cases. Those issues can include claims in Chapter 11 cases and defending preferential transfer avoidance actions.
