Robert G. Harris

Experienced and strategic guidance through a complex business restructuring

Our family-owned manufacturing business in Santa Clara faced severe financial distress following a major contract loss. We needed an attorney with deep experience in both the legal and practical realities of business insolvency. Robert Harris of Binder & Malter was recommended for his long-standing recognition in Bankruptcy and Creditor Rights. His nearly four decades of practice, underscored by his Best Lawyers acknowledgment, were immediately evident. He didn't just see our case as a filing; he crafted a nuanced reorganization strategy that balanced creditor negotiations with preserving our core operations. His advice was pragmatic, grounded in his extensive background from Hastings, and he explained complex Chapter 11 proceedings in clear terms. While his expertise is unquestionable, communication response times could occasionally be slower during peak periods, which added some anxiety. Ultimately, his strategic approach was instrumental in guiding us to a viable reorganization plan. We emerged leaner but operational, thanks to his seasoned counsel.
