A formidable advocate in complex corporate restructuring

Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-party insolvency situation that threatened its survival. Engaging Chad Dale was the pivotal decision. His deep expertise in both bankruptcy litigation and corporate restructuring, honed over three decades, provided a strategic clarity that was invaluable. He seamlessly navigated the interplay between creditor negotiations and potential litigation, a skill underscored by his well-deserved 'Lawyer of the Year' recognitions. Chad’s command of the financial intricacies, no doubt bolstered by his finance background, and his calm, decisive professionalism at Proskauer Rose were instrumental in achieving a reorganization that preserved our core business. Simply exceptional.
