The Case
Neligan LLP represented J. Hilburn, Inc. in its Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding in Dallas, Texas. Faced with a dramatic interruption in its business as a result of the nascent Covid-19 pandemic, J. Hilburn, Inc. sought relief under the bankruptcy code to restructure its operations. Neligan LLP negotiated and formulated a plan of reorganization that was confirmed by the bankruptcy court less than 60 days from the petition date, resulting in all allowed claims being paid in full. The judge presiding over the case described the result as extraordinary.
