Riley T. Orloff

Expert guidance through a complex business restructuring

Our small manufacturing company was facing severe liquidity issues and creditor pressure that threatened our survival. We were referred to Riley Orloff at McDermott Will & Schulte, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first consultation, Riley demonstrated a nuanced understanding of both the financial intricacies and the legal frameworks involved, clearly drawing on her recognized expertise in bankruptcy and creditor rights. She didn't just see our case as a legal file; she understood it as a business crisis requiring a strategic reorganization. Riley meticulously guided us through Chapter 11 proceedings, negotiating tirelessly with our secured lenders and unsecured creditors. Her ability to explain complex insolvency concepts in clear, actionable terms was invaluable to our management team. Her preparation was exhaustive, and her professionalism in court and in negotiations commanded respect. The result was a confirmed reorganization plan that allowed us to continue operations, preserve jobs, and emerge on a stable financial footing. Riley’s blend of sharp legal acumen from her Fordham background and practical business sensibility was exactly what we needed. We are profoundly grateful for her exceptional service and highly recommend her for any business facing financial distress.
