A strategic and knowledgeable guide through a complex restructuring

Our family-owned manufacturing business in Phoenix faced a severe liquidity crisis that threatened its survival. We engaged Warren Stapleton at Osborn Maledon to navigate a complex Chapter 11 restructuring. His 28 years of deep experience in bankruptcy and creditor rights were immediately evident. He didn't just handle the legal filings; he crafted a strategic reorganization plan that addressed our specific operational challenges, a testament to the expertise recognized by his multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' awards. Warren was a steady, confident presence, explaining intricate legal and financial concepts with clarity. His counsel was invaluable in securing creditor approval. While his billing structure is commensurate with his high-level expertise, and response times could occasionally be slower during peak periods, the outcome was worth it. He successfully guided us to confirmation, preserving the business and most jobs. We highly recommend him for any serious insolvency matter.
