Peter A. Clark

A Lifeline for Our Business During Financial Restructuring

Our mid-sized manufacturing company in Chicago faced a dire financial crisis last year, with creditors closing in and the very real threat of liquidation looming. In that desperate moment, we were referred to Peter Clark at Barnes & Thornburg. From our first consultation, his 35 years of deep experience in insolvency and reorganization law were immediately apparent. He didn't just see our balance sheet; he understood our business model, our workforce, and our potential for recovery. Peter guided us through a complex Chapter 11 process with a steady hand, combining his Vanderbilt-honed legal acumen with practical, strategic thinking. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights was more than just a credential—it was a promise of the caliber of representation we received. He was exceptionally adept at negotiating with our secured lenders and unsecured creditors, crafting a reorganization plan that was both feasible and fair. The result was nothing short of saving our company. We emerged from the process leaner, financially stable, and with a clear path forward. Peter’s professionalism is matched only by his genuine compassion for clients navigating these stressful waters. He is, without question, the attorney you want in your corner when facing financial distress.
