Creditors' Rights

The Creditors’ Rights group at Wegman, Hessler & Vanderburg is a team of attorneys and support staff experienced in the area of creditors’ rights law. Members of this group have significant experience that provides them with a familiarity and knowledge of different industries and business practices. We take a practical, business-oriented approach in representing our clients. We focus on utilizing our skills and experience to develop effective approaches necessary to deal with every facet of the creditor-debtor relationship, both within and outside of court supervised proceedings.

We assist clients in obtaining judgments, discovering assets of debtors, and recovering value to satisfy judgment obligations using state and federal execution processes including, but not limited to, garnishment, attachment and execution proceedings.

Our Creditors’ Rights group also represents clients in a full spectrum of bankruptcy matters including, but not limited to: claims issues, adversary proceedings, executory contract and lease issues, reclamation proceedings, and plan confirmation issues. Members of this practice routinely represent secured creditors, individual creditors, construction clients, and both publicly-traded and privately-held corporations in bankruptcy-related matters and in business and other litigation arising from bankruptcy matters.

We also assist and advise our clients with respect to Uniform Commercial Code matters, which encompass secured transactions, commercial paper and negotiable instruments, sales of goods, and consignment sales.

The Creditors’ Rights group regularly coordinates with Wegman, Hessler & Vanderburg’s other groups in order to provide our clients with practical, cost-efficient, and comprehensive representation.
