Overview

Even the most complex litigation cannot solve the often complicated issues stemming from property and business cases. In these instances, what is often a far better solution for creditors is the appointment of a receiver, placing the property or business at issue into a receivership. This places the matter at the heart of a controversy into trusted hands, someone who can provide a structure, administration, oversight and a remedy that may not be readily available through other means.

A receiver acts as an officer of the court and provides an accounting to the court, ensuring that the ongoing business, winding down, or disposition of assets or property are carried out in an orderly and efficient manner. The receiver acts in the interest of all creditors and consumers, and the receiver’s efforts result in better outcomes for those involved.
