Allen J. Guon

Expert guidance through a complex business restructuring

Our mid-sized manufacturing company in Chicago faced a severe liquidity crisis that threatened our survival. We engaged Allen Guon at Cozen O'Connor to navigate a Chapter 11 restructuring. His 27 years of experience, particularly his deep focus on creditor rights and insolvency law, were immediately evident. He didn't just handle the bankruptcy filing; he crafted a strategic reorganization plan that balanced the demands of our secured lenders with our operational needs, allowing us to continue trading. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Bankruptcy and Litigation - Bankruptcy was well-earned—his courtroom composure during creditor committee challenges was impressive. Allen is a thoughtful strategist who explains complex legal concepts in practical business terms. The one area where we occasionally wished for more was in the timeliness of email responses during non-critical phases, as his caseload is clearly substantial. However, when it mattered, he was always available. We successfully emerged from Chapter 11, and our company is now on stable footing, thanks in large part to his skilled representation.
