Our company faced a daunting Chapter 11 restructuring with multiple creditor classes and a challenging timeline. Engaging John Elrod at Greenberg Traurig was the best decision we made. His deep, 24-year focus on bankruptcy and creditors' rights was immediately evident. John didn't just navigate the legal code; he provided strategic counsel that considered our long-term business viability. He expertly managed communications with our secured lender and an indenture trustee, turning potential adversaries into collaborative partners. His recognition in both Bankruptcy and Creditor Rights as well as Litigation - Bankruptcy is clearly well-earned. John's calm, methodical approach from the Atlanta office instilled confidence in our entire leadership team. The result was a confirmed plan that positioned us for a strong recovery. For any serious insolvency or commercial litigation matter, John is a formidable and trusted advocate.
