Peter P. Knight

A Lifeline During Our Company's Financial Restructuring

When our mid-sized manufacturing firm in Chicago faced a liquidity crisis that threatened our survival, we turned to Peter Knight at Katten. His reputation in bankruptcy and creditor rights was well-known, but his approach was what truly set him apart. Peter didn't just see a legal case; he saw a business that could be saved. Drawing on his deep expertise in insolvency and reorganization—the very area where he's been recognized by Best Lawyers—he crafted a strategic Chapter 11 plan that was both pragmatic and innovative. He navigated complex negotiations with our senior lenders and a key supplier committee with a steady hand, securing critical debtor-in-possession financing and ultimately a consensual plan of reorganization. His guidance, grounded in over two decades of experience since his NYU J.D., was clear and direct, demystifying a profoundly stressful process. Peter and his team were exceptionally responsive, working tirelessly to meet tight court deadlines. Thanks to his strategic counsel, we emerged from Chapter 11 leaner, financially stable, and positioned for growth. We are not just a client; we are a testament to his skill. For any business facing financial distress in the Chicago area, Peter P. Knight is the definitive choice.
