Maria C. Grabis

Expert Guidance Through a Complex Corporate Restructuring

Our mid-sized manufacturing company faced a severe liquidity crisis that threatened our survival. We engaged Maria Grabis at Paul Hastings to navigate a pre-negotiated Chapter 11 filing. From our first consultation, her command of the intricate details of creditor rights and insolvency law was evident. She didn't just apply textbook solutions; she crafted a strategy tailored to our specific operational realities and creditor landscape. Her background, recognized by Best Lawyers in Bankruptcy, was not just a credential on paper—it translated into practical, decisive advice during tense negotiations with our secured lenders. Maria and her team worked tirelessly, demonstrating a level of professionalism and dedication that went beyond our expectations. They managed to secure debtor-in-possession financing on favorable terms and helped us achieve a confirmed plan of reorganization that preserved the core business and a majority of jobs. Her clear communication, from explaining complex legal concepts to our board to managing court deadlines, was invaluable. We emerged from the process stabilized and positioned for future growth, thanks entirely to Maria's exceptional expertise and steadfast counsel.
