Colleen Murphy

Expert guidance through a complex business restructuring

Our mid-sized manufacturing company in the Boston area faced significant financial distress, and we needed counsel to navigate a potential Chapter 11 restructuring. We selected Colleen Murphy at Greenberg Traurig based on her recognition in Best Lawyers for Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights. From our first consultation, it was clear we were in capable hands. Colleen possesses a deep, practical understanding of insolvency law that goes beyond textbook theory. She meticulously analyzed our operational structure and creditor landscape, then crafted a strategy that balanced legal necessities with our goal of preserving the business. Her ability to explain intricate reorganization concepts to our non-legal management team was invaluable, transforming a daunting process into a manageable one. While her expertise is top-tier, there were occasional periods where response times from her team stretched a bit longer than ideal during the initial information-gathering phase, though Colleen herself was always prompt for critical discussions. Ultimately, her negotiation with our secured creditors was masterful, resulting in a confirmed plan that allowed us to emerge leaner and financially stable. We highly recommend Colleen for any business facing similar complex financial challenges.
