Sands Anderson can serve your legal needs with steadfast, thorough and attentive guidance in all aspects of bankruptcy and creditors' rights law.

Our attorneys have extensive experience in both financial reorganizations, whether accomplished in or out of court, and bankruptcy matters. Our lawyers represent debtors and creditors, as well as Chapter 7 and 11 trustees, committees, and liquidating trusts. Our experience involves a variety of industries and includes the representation of businesses, large and small, and high-net-worth individuals. In addition to reorganization and bankruptcy matters, Sands Anderson lawyers provide services in commercial collections and creditor remedies.

Our Bankruptcy & Creditors' Rights team draws upon the extensive experience available in other practices in the firm — such as securities, intellectual property, and tax — to deepen the legal support you receive.
