Bankruptcy Estate Claims & Recoveries

Pursue Recoveries for Bankruptcy Estates 

IMcP helps trustees, wind-down fiduciaries, liquidating trustees, and other estate representatives pursue complex, high-value bankruptcy estate claims. As special litigation counsel, we draw on our bankruptcy experience and business litigation practice to evaluate claims and pursue recoveries through negotiation, litigation, and trial. 

Co-Venture or Purchase Estate Claims 

IMcP also considers co-venturing with or purchasing outright estate claims, depending upon what arrangement works best for the trustee.  

Assess the Likely Recovery Before Committing Resources 

We help fiduciaries decide which claims justify spending estate resources. We assess each claim’s merits, potential damages, collectability, expected expense, and timing to estimate what the estate could recover after litigation costs. 

Prepare to Prove the Claim at Trial 

We do not just make calls to accept pennies on the dollar. We prepare each case with trial in mind from the outset to maximize recovery. We identify the evidence needed to prove the claim, test likely defenses, and plan discovery. That preparation can strengthen our negotiating position and help us take the case to trial if the parties cannot reach an acceptable settlement. 

Match the Fee Structure to the Matter 

We work with fiduciaries to structure fees around the estate’s circumstances and the risks of the litigation. Depending on the engagement, we may offer hourly, hybrid, success-fee, contingent, or reverse-contingent arrangements.
