Commercial Collections
Recovery of unpaid commercial debt, by settlement where possible and by suit where necessary.
Creditors’ Rights · Litigation · Transactional Counsel
L&K is a boutique civil firm for the commercial finance industry. Lenders and creditors hire us to recover what they are owed, in court and out.
The same attorneys draft the contracts those deals run on. Whatever your needs are, we devote ourselves to exceeding them.
01 / Practice
What we do.
From the deal to the dollar.
Revenue Based Financing Litigation
When a funded business stops paying, we enforce the revenue based financing agreement and the personal guaranties behind it, for the lender who wrote it.
Commercial Litigation
Business-to-business disputes for companies and their principals, from pre-suit strategy through appeal.
Judgment Enforcement
We turn court judgments into paid judgments: asset tracing, restraining notices, turnover, and domestication when the debtor moves assets out of state.
UCC & Secured Party Rights
Article 9 work for secured lenders: filings, perfection, priority disputes, and lien enforcement.
Workouts & Restructuring
Some debts are worth restructuring instead of suing on. We paper workouts, forbearance agreements, and inter-creditor arrangements.
Contract Drafting
Financing agreements, settlements, and bespoke instruments, drafted and negotiated for deals that don’t fit a template.
Corporate Counsel
Acquisitions, financings, and partnership arrangements, with general counsel support that stays on after closing.
02 / Approach
We know what goes into building truly compelling cases — and we take on even the most complex challenges with a creative strategy and careful execution.
— The Partners
i.
Two practices, one firm
Deal lawyers sit on one side of the office, litigators on the other. The agreement we draft is the agreement we enforce.
ii.
Where we trained
Cravath, Davis Polk, Cleary Gottlieb, the Kings County DA’s office: big-firm and courtroom training in a twelve-lawyer office.
iii.
One industry
Commercial finance is the whole practice. We read revenue based financing paper all day, so we already know the deal you’re describing.
iv.
A partner answers
The partner who takes the engagement is the one who reads the file and picks up the phone.
