The Situation

As Assignee in the Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (ABC) of an illiquid aviation maintenance, repair, and operations business facing HazMat-based liabilities, our experts achieved a recovery for the secured creditors.

How We Advised

Our experts took over the airport facilities and inventoried assets, including airplane parts, accessories, and tooling, before we sold assets via an auction process. We pursued collection of A/R for prior work performed on aircraft and initiated litigation related to a breach of lease contract to recover money for creditors. Our experts managed the claims process and creditor communications and resolved all HazMat at the former airport / MRO site.
