A Strategic and Compassionate Guide Through Business Restructuring

When our family-owned manufacturing business in Chicago faced overwhelming debt and creditor pressure, we were lost. We needed an attorney who understood both the intricate legal framework and the human element of financial distress. Elysa Chew was exactly that. Despite her relatively recent graduation from Northwestern in 2020, her command of bankruptcy and insolvency law is profound. She didn't just process paperwork; she crafted a strategic reorganization plan under Chapter 11 that protected our core assets and gave us a viable path forward. Her recognition in areas like Commercial Litigation and Creditor Debtor Rights was evident in every negotiation—she anticipated opposing counsel's moves and advocated for us with unwavering professionalism. Elysa explained complex concepts in clear terms, was exceptionally responsive, and treated our situation with genuine care. The outcome preserved our business and our dignity. For anyone in the Chicagoland area navigating commercial financial turmoil, I cannot recommend Elysa Chew highly enough. Her expertise belies her years of experience, and her client-focused approach makes an incredibly stressful process manageable.
