Our practice is focused in commercial business matters, bankruptcy and bankruptcy litigation; commercial (business and business-related) litigation; and commercial real estate law.

We serve as legal counsel for debtors, creditors, creditor committees and trustees in business bankruptcy matters ranging from small simple workouts to complex multi-million dollar proceedings, both in Colorado and around the United States.

We have represented numerous persons and businesses who are faced with economic problems, insolvency issues, bankruptcy issues for themselves or which involve the bankruptcy filings of their clients or business relations. Our representation includes bankruptcy reorganizations, liquidations, recovery of assets, bankruptcy sales of assets, relief from the automatic stay, discharge litigation, property turnover disputes, subordinated debt and equity holders, as well as personal guarantees.

We also focus on out-of-court creditor-debtor workouts, debt restructuring, business restructuring and reorganization, personal liability and equity issues. We endeavor to provide our clients with non-bankruptcy alternatives which strive to avoid cost prohibitive litigation. Because of our extensive experience and knowledge, we can furnish our clients with practical solutions to complex financial problems.

Our representative clients include businesses of all sizes in many industries, including, real estate developers and business, hotels, retail and commercial businesses, trucking companies, oil and gas, manufacturing and technology companies.

Some representative cases in these areas include:

In re: Armadillo Club, Inc., d/b/a Armadillo Restaurants, Bankruptcy Case No. 01-26141 SBB. Sender & Wasserman represented the committee of unsecured creditors. We were successful in obtaining a 100% return on the unsecured claims, a rarity in bankruptcy cases.

In re: The Will Hoover Company, Bankruptcy Case No. 02-26321 ABC. Sender & Wasserman represented the Chapter 7 trustee, in which we filed over 47 adversary proceedings to avoid preferential and fraudulent transfers. The principal of The Will Hoover Company, Mr. William G. Hoover, Jr., was alleged to have operated a "Ponzi" scheme prior to the bankruptcy case. The Trustee was successful in recovering over $1,000,000.00 for the benefit of unsecured creditors.

In re: Hill v. O'Neill, 372 B.R. 332 (10th Cir. BAP 2007). Sender & Wasserman successfully represented the trustee on appeal. Had the bankruptcy court's decision not been appealed, it would have eliminated an entire subset of "strong arm" 11 U.S.C. § 544 (a) avoidance cases for trustees.

Besides bankruptcy, we handle a wide range of other business matters including commercial disputes and collections; foreclosures; contract disputes; mechanic's lien disputes; complex financing agreement disputes

We provide comprehensive legal services to owners and landlords of office, retail and industrial projects in all matters relating to commercial real estate, such as: purchase and sale of raw land; purchase and sale of office, retail and industrial buildings; purchase and sale of developed projects; project financing; project development; and leasing of office and retail space for local and national tenants.
