Expert guidance through a complex business restructuring

Our mid-sized technology firm faced significant financial distress following a major contract loss, and we urgently needed counsel on restructuring options. We engaged Cullen Drescher Speckhart at Cooley LLP based on his strong reputation in insolvency law. From our first meeting, his deep knowledge of both creditor rights and debtor-side reorganization strategies was evident. He clearly explained the nuances of Chapter 11 proceedings and helped us craft a viable plan that balanced our obligations with operational continuity. His 16 years of experience, particularly his recognition by Best Lawyers in Bankruptcy, gave our board immense confidence. Cullen was strategic, pragmatic, and personally invested in our company's survival. The process was demanding, but his steady guidance was invaluable. If there was one minor critique, it would be that communication response times could occasionally lag during peak periods, though his team was always responsive. Overall, his expertise from William & Mary Law School and his practical D.C. market knowledge were critical in achieving a successful outcome that preserved our business. We highly recommend him for complex financial reorganizations.
