💼 Business Debt Negotiation & Restructuring 💼
Practical Legal Solutions for
Businesses in Financial Distress
Running a business comes with challenges. Economic downturns, supply chain disruptions, client defaults, or unexpected expenses can leave even the most established companies facing unmanageable debt. At Ginsburg Law Group, we provide tailored legal strategies to help businesses regain stability by negotiating and restructuring their debt obligations.
Our goal is to protect your business, preserve key relationships, and create a clear path toward financial health — whether that means negotiating directly with creditors, restructuring agreements, or preparing for longer-term solutions.
⚖️ Our Legal Approach
Every business faces unique financial pressures. That’s why our attorneys take a comprehensive, case-by-case approach to debt matters. We begin by reviewing your company’s financial position, obligations, and creditor relationships. From there, we develop a negotiation strategy that prioritizes:
-
Preservation of Operations – ensuring your business continues to function while obligations are addressed.
-
Protection of Assets – limiting exposure on collateral, liens, or personal guarantees.
-
Reduction of Liability – seeking reductions in principal, interest, or penalties where possible.
-
Sustainable Repayment Structures – negotiating payment plans or extensions that fit your cash flow.
-
Avoidance of Litigation – resolving disputes outside the courtroom whenever practical.

Will creditors really work with my business if I hire an attorney?
Yes. Creditors often prefer to resolve debts through negotiation rather than litigation or default. Having an attorney involved ensures the process is handled professionally, increases the likelihood of securing fair terms, and guarantees that agreements are legally enforceable.
Does hiring your firm mean I have to file for bankruptcy?
Not necessarily. Bankruptcy is only one option. We often succeed in negotiating settlements, reduced balances, or restructured repayment plans outside of court. We use bankruptcy only when it is the most strategic option for protecting the business and its assets.
How long does the negotiation process take?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the debts and the number of creditors involved. Some matters can be resolved in a matter of weeks with a lump-sum settlement; others, especially involving multiple creditors, may take several months.
Can personal guarantees be negotiated?
Yes, in many cases. If you personally guaranteed a business loan or lease, we will evaluate strategies to minimize personal exposure. Creditors may agree to release or reduce guarantees as part of a negotiated settlement.
What results can I expect?
Every case is different. Our team carefully review your financial situation and creditor positions before making proposals. Some clients achieve significant reductions in total balances, while others obtain extended repayment terms or waived penalties. We do not guarantee specific results but always pursue the most favorable outcome possible under the circumstances.
Will my business relationships be damaged if I negotiate?
Not necessarily. In fact, many vendors and landlords would rather maintain a modified relationship than lose a customer or tenant entirely. Our attorneys negotiate respectfully and with the long-term business relationship in mind whenever possible.
How do you charge for these services?
We offer flexible fee structures, including hourly billing, flat fees for specific negotiations, or retainer-based arrangements for ongoing advisory services. All terms are discussed upfront and documented in an engagement agreement.
Is the process confidential?
Yes. All communications with our attorneys are protected by attorney–client privilege, and settlement discussions remain confidential between the business and its creditors.
