Halperin Battaglia Raicht, LLP has also represented corporate debtors, including Tana Seybert, LLC, Aztec Services Group, Kenzer Corp., Realigent and US Wireless Data, and the chapter 11 trustee of Agriprocessors, in both conventional and "prepackaged" bankruptcies, and has aggressively asserted and protected the rights of those clients in all facets of bankruptcy and restructuring matters. Halperin Battaglia Raicht, LLP has represented clients in connection with claims and cases ranging in value from relatively small amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars.
