Bankruptcy and Receivership Attorneys

Hershner Hunter’s Bankruptcy and Receivership attorneys focus on representation of lenders in federal bankruptcy proceedings and receiverships under Oregon and Washington law. From routine motions for relief from stay, proofs of claim and plan review and objections in consumer bankruptcy cases, to the negotiation of in-court and out-of-court restructurings, debtor-in-possession financing and involuntary receiverships for commercial loans, the Northwest’s most sophisticated lenders turn to us. You can too.

Services

We represent lenders in both bankruptcy and receivership proceedings in Oregon and Washington. We also represent official and ad hoc credit committees in chapter 11 cases, as well as trustees and court-appointed receivers. Because of the volume of our practice, we are a cost-competitive option for private money lenders, credit unions and national banks alike.

Consumer Bankruptcy Proceedings

We represent lenders in hundreds of consumer bankruptcy cases in Oregon and Washington every year. From proofs of claim, to plan reviews and objections, to objections to discharge and non-dischargeability proceedings, we represent banks, credit unions and private lenders through the entire life-cycle of a bankruptcy proceeding.

Commercial Bankruptcy Proceedings

Our attorneys have substantial experience representing creditors in commercial bankruptcy proceedings. Having practiced in one of Wall-Street’s most sophisticated law firms, our attorneys are among the most experienced in the region. We handle plan review and negotiation, debtor-in-possession financings and claim defense. We also represent official and ad hoc committees in chapter 11 proceedings.

Receiverships and Provisional Process

We represent financial institutions and private lenders in placing receivers and obtaining provisional process. We have obtained on behalf of clients in Oregon and Washington rent receivers, liquidation receivers for commercial property and manufacturing concerns, restraining orders and provisional process to recover collateral on an expedited basis. We also represent banks and lenders in fraudulent conveyance proceedings and post-judgment collection actions.

Forbearance and Workouts

Our workout practice focuses on loan amendments, waivers and forbearance agreements, as well as deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure and debt-for-equity swaps. We represent both borrowers and lenders in reaching out-of-court resolutions of loan defaults, including private money lenders.
