Bankruptcy

Weinberg, Roger & Rosenfeld represents workers, unions, and employee benefit plans as creditors (and occasionally as debtors) in bankruptcy action. While bankruptcy laws were recently amended to make it far more difficult for ordinary working people to get a fresh start, unfortunately, bankruptcy remains a potent route for businesses to escape obligations to employees.

Attorneys at Weinberg, Roger & Rosenfeld have won prominent cases to protect workers wages and pensions from predators and ordinary business creditors during bankruptcy proceedings. We fight employer attempts to void collective bargaining agreements, and work to protect unions’ and their members’ interests against defaulting employers in bankruptcy.
