Asset Segregation / Protection preparation

We are evaluating a couple of potential business acquisition opportunities.

We have a lot of balls in the air right now with a corporate bankruptcy in progress and potential personal bankruptcy in the coming months.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a firm that could help assess and potentially setup, an entity/structure that would be protected from all our other challenges?

We can definitely chat - the challenge with bankruptcy is any transfer of assets inside of a year prior to the bankruptcy filing is that such transactions can be unwound as a "fraudulent transfer." The bankruptcy code protects creditors from a debtor's attempt to siphon assets away from their recovery leading up to a bankruptcy filing.

That being said, I have done a ton of M&A work in the distressed space and have handled many large Chapter 11 cases as well (I represented the Government of Puerto Rico in their $50+ billion bankruptcy). My firm also has a seasoned team of bankruptcy attorneys and it may be beneficial to all jump on a call to figure out what your options are.
