Creditors’ Rights & Bankruptcy

We maintain active, creditor-focused bankruptcy practices in Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming. Our experience and resources permit us to handle the full range of creditors’ rights issues that may arise in bankruptcy and reorganization proceedings of any size and complexity.

We represent local, state-wide, and national clients in commercial and consumer collection matters in federal, state, and Tribal courts in our region.

Our attorneys advise our creditor clients in loan workouts and restructurings. We have handled matters involving distressed real estate, including high-end planned community development projects, hotels, commercial office buildings, industrial facilities, restaurants, shopping centers, apartment projects, farm and ranch property, and undeveloped land.

We represent our creditor clients in litigation and non-judicial proceedings involving personal property and related matters, including enforcement of rights under the Uniform Commercial Code, recovery of collateral under claim and delivery and replevin proceedings, liquidation and foreclosure proceedings, and executions and attachments.

Our attorneys represent clients in real estate litigation and related matters, including landlord-tenant disputes, and judicial and non-judicial foreclosures of mortgages, deeds of trust, and contracts for deeds.

We assist lenders (and occasionally borrowers) in documenting commercial, real estate, and natural resource and alternative energy loans of all kinds, and we render legal opinions as to the validity and enforceability of loan documents and perfection of security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code and state law governing mortgages and deeds of trust.
