Work Department

Insolvency and Restructuring

Position

When advising creditors in bankruptcies and reorganizations, Peter Siddiqui knows that his job is to make the best of a bad situation. Banks, hedge funds and private equity investors, as well as borrowers, turn to him to find swift solutions that protect their interests with minimal distress. Because he understands his clients’ business realities — whether they’re in the automobile, real estate, financial services or hospitality and resort industries — he offers advice that’s not just informed, but practical.

Dealing with companies in financial distress requires a flexible mindset focused on practical solutions for problems that often involve a host of parties. Peter knows that his goal isn’t to “win” every dispute. Instead, he keeps his eye on creating a framework that will produce the best result efficiently. He has worked with companies through all phases of the economic cycle, and understands that every restructuring, bankruptcy and other debt resolution must take into account the context of the financial environment.

Peter also assists debtors in Chapter 11 cases, trustees in bankruptcy actions and secured creditors in mortgage foreclosures, sales and orderly wind downs.
