Tara has extensive experience representing creditors in Chapter 11 proceedings, including matters involving major corporate debtors across the real estate, retail, energy, and other industries. A significant portion of her practice focuses on representing purchasers in bankruptcy-related mergers, acquisitions, and Section 363 sales. She advises buyers throughout the sale process, from diligence and bid structuring through auction participation, sale approval, and closing.
