A steady hand through a complex business restructuring

Our family-owned manufacturing company in Nashville faced a daunting financial restructuring. We engaged David Lemke at Holland & Knight, drawn by his deep, 36-year experience and his specific recognition in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights. His counsel was invaluable; he navigated the insolvency complexities with a calm, strategic clarity that instilled confidence during a stressful time. His knowledge of both local practice and broader reorganization law was evident in every negotiation. While his expertise is top-tier and his guidance was precise, communication response times could occasionally be a day slower than expected during non-critical phases. That minor note aside, his skill in achieving a favorable outcome for our business was exactly what his 'Lawyer of the Year' accolades suggest. We highly recommend him for serious financial distress matters.
