A Lifeline During Our Company's Financial Restructuring
When our family-owned manufacturing business in Nashville faced overwhelming creditor pressure and potential insolvency, we turned to Erika Barnes at Stites & Harbison. Her dual expertise in bankruptcy law and litigation was immediately apparent. Erika leveraged her deep understanding of creditor-debtor rights, honed over her seven-year practice, to navigate a complex Chapter 11 reorganization. Her Vanderbilt Law background and practical MBA insight from Tennessee Tech were invaluable, allowing her to craft a strategic plan that addressed both legal and operational realities. The recognition she has received in banking and finance litigation was well-earned; she anticipated every challenge. Erika managed the immense stress of the situation with remarkable professionalism, guiding us to a favorable outcome that saved the business. She is an exceptional attorney who truly understands legal matters from every angle.
