Financial Restructuring
& Recovery

Business owners and individuals under financial pressure don’t just need bankruptcy advice.

They need strategic options.

Who We Help

Pressure looks different for everyone.

We work with Texas business owners and individuals experiencing one or more of the following — often before things escalate, sometimes after.

Cash Flow Issues

SBA Loan Problems

Creditor Pressure

Tax Debt

Partnership Disputes

Two Paths Forward

Save It. Or Exit It.

Every situation deserves an honest assessment. Sometimes the business can be saved. Sometimes the right answer is a clean, dignified exit. We help you choose — and execute — the path that protects you most.

Path

Save It

Preserve the business. Restructure the obligations.

Chapter 11 Reorganization

Court-supervised reorganization that lets a viable business keep operating while restructuring debt under the protection of an automatic stay.

Subchapter V (Small Business)

Streamlined Chapter 11 reserved for qualifying small businesses — faster, cheaper, and built around an owner-led plan of reorganization.

Out-of-Court Workouts

Direct negotiation with lenders, vendors, and the IRS to extend, modify, or compromise debts — preserving relationships and avoiding public filings.

Operational Restructuring

Entity-level restructuring — recapitalizations, asset segregation, holding-company conversions, and partner buy-outs — to stabilize and re-position.

Path

Exit It

Close it cleanly. Protect what you walk away with.

Business Sale

Structured sale to a strategic buyer, competitor, or private equity firm — often preserving more value than a forced liquidation.

Orderly Wind Down

Controlled cessation of operations: notice to creditors, sale of remaining assets, employee transitions, and final tax filings — without the courthouse.

Texas Dissolution

Formal dissolution and termination of the entity with the Texas Secretary of State, the Comptroller, and the IRS — closing the legal book cleanly.

Chapter 7 Liquidation

Court-administered liquidation of business or personal assets to discharge eligible debt and provide a true fresh start when continuation is not viable.

Attorney + CPA

Legal strategy and tax-impact analysis evaluated together — not handed off between two firms.

Discretion First

Most engagements begin with workout negotiations and entity-level restructuring — quietly, before any court filing.

Whole-Estate View

We coordinate restructuring with your estate plan, asset protection structures, and family wealth strategy — not in isolation.

The earlier we talk, the more options you have.
