How do I fully understand my clients’ businesses, objectives and issues to help them succeed?
I’ve always had a great deal of intellectual curiosity about my clients’ businesses. I thoroughly enjoy visiting client businesses on site so I can experience firsthand their organizations operate. This enables me to collaborate closely with them to address concerns, pinpoint needs, resolve problems, identify goals, and set legal strategies that align with their business goals to insure, as their counsel, I’m complimenting business goals and, hopefully, their future success.
Drawing on extensive experience serving both sides of the dispute
In his national bankruptcy practice, Will Hoch focuses on bankruptcy, restructuring and insolvency cases for both creditors and debtors, foreclosures, receiverships, bankruptcy trustees, commercial disputes, real estate issues, trust and estate litigation, business valuations for bankruptcy purposes, tax planning purposes, estate planning purposes and other related litigation. He advises clients in an array of industries, including financial services, real estate, oil and gas, electricity, mortgage lending and servicing, telecommunications and healthcare. Because Will advocates for creditors as well as debtors, he applies knowledge gained from both sides to best help his clients, whether they’re a distressed company or a financial institution recovering assets.
Diving deeply, working efficiently, and advocating vigorously
Bringing decades of experience and an impressive record of multiple successful restructuring outcomes, Will delves into each financial situation and comes up to speed quickly.
