Halperin Battaglia Raicht, LLP is a dynamic firm dedicated to providing its clients with quality legal services at highly competitive rates. The firm's primary practice area is bankruptcy, including out-of-court restructurings, chapter 11 reorganization and liquidation cases, debtor-creditor litigation and transactional advice. The firm also practices in the related areas of commercial litigation, foreclosures, contracts and general corporate law.

Alan D. Halperin, the founding and senior partner of the firm, received his training as part of the bankruptcy and restructuring department at the firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan. In starting his own firm, Mr. Halperin was determined to create a bankruptcy boutique with the experience and skill to rival the departments of the nation's leading large firms, but with a level of efficiency and cost-effectiveness that large firms can seldom offer.

Halperin Battaglia Raicht, LLP achieves that combined goal. The firm has represented corporate and individual clients in their capacities as debtors, creditors, lenders, lessors, asset purchasers and avoidance action defendants, and has served as counsel to creditors' committees in cases as varied as Maidenform Worldwide, Tender Loving Care Healthcare Services, Inc., Dana Corporation, Homemaker Industries, Turner Steel, RMM Records & Video, Dean Floor Covering Company and Wyn Molded Plastics. Halperin Battaglia Raicht, LLP has also represented corporate debtors, including Aztec Services Group, Kenzer Corp., Realigent and US Wireless Data, 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.

Since its founding, Halperin Battaglia Raicht, LLP has grown to include nine attorneys with specialties in bankruptcy and restructuring work, and two full-time litigators who lend depth and support to the bankruptcy practice. The collective experience and expertise of the attorneys affiliated with Halperin Battaglia Raicht, LLP, give the firm the depth and breadth to effectively represent clients in any and all pre-bankruptcy and bankruptcy situations.
