Our company faced a daunting operational and financial restructuring that required both strategic vision and deep technical knowledge of creditor rights. We engaged Darren Azman at McDermott Will & Schulte based on his strong reputation in the field, including his recognition in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights law. With 14 years of experience, his expertise was immediately evident. Darren and his team provided a clear roadmap, explaining the intricacies of the Chapter 11 process in a way our leadership could understand, while his role on the firm's Management Committee gave us confidence in his judgment. He was particularly adept at negotiating with our secured lenders, a critical and tense part of our journey. The outcome preserved our core business and set us on a sustainable path. The one area where we occasionally felt a slight delay was in receiving responses to non-urgent emails, which sometimes took a day or two, likely due to his demanding caseload. That said, his direct involvement in key meetings and calls was always timely and invaluable. We highly recommend Darren for any business navigating insolvency or reorganization challenges.
