Speed and Results

Representing a publicly traded food products company, Brian D. Bouquet assisted the client in submitting and winning a multimillion-dollar last-minute bid to acquire the assets of a bankrupt peanut butter company. After being contacted on a Friday afternoon, Brian and his team worked over the weekend to draft, negotiate, and execute an asset purchase agreement with the bankruptcy trustee in just three days. Notwithstanding that a court-sanctioned bankruptcy auction had been held the week before and a winning bidder selected, Brian and his partner John Hall were able to secure the deal, obtain bankruptcy court approval of the sale, and close the transaction, all within 12 days from the first phone call from the client.
