"Resolving insolvency problems is like assembling a complex puzzle and making every move under the pressure of a timer with a very quick bell. I bring the legal expertise, agility, stamina, and judgment required to realize the best possible financial results for creditors throughout Texas and across the country."

Bankruptcy and financial services sector advisor, Lloyd Lim, navigates clients through all types of insolvency events, financial restructurings, and bankruptcy litigation. His extensive knowledge of and proficiency in insolvency matters of all kinds – negotiated behind the scenes or aggressively litigated before the courts – reflect his proven skill as top-tier lead counsel to creditors seeking to maximize their financial recovery throughout Texas and beyond.

Lloyd represents lenders and lender groups, trade creditors, bondholders, indenture trustees, asset purchasers, and landlords in out-of-court workouts, Chapter 11 proceedings, bankruptcy litigation, exit financing, and Section 363 sales. He brings proven skill to advocating creditor rights primarily before the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts for the Southern, Northern, Western, and Eastern Districts of Texas, and other Bankruptcy Courts throughout the country.

Lloyd’s incomparable level of multidisciplinary expertise and service is manifest in innovative solutions to complex problems and rapid response tactics that leverage financial recovery. His legal acumen is further reinforced by his fluency in analyzing and understanding the components of successful debt realization and restructuring – practical business experience earned over many years of successful practice.

Lloyd is appreciated for ably guiding creditors through corporate reorganizations and complicated restructurings and receiverships. Time and again, he proves his ability to overcome difficult challenges for creditors at the local, regional, and national levels and advocates their rights in Chapter 11 cases and other bankruptcy court and insolvency proceedings.

Lloyd brings seemingly natural talent to creating legal solutions that are efficient for clients faced with the threat and financial hazard and diminishing returns. He is fluent in the inherent risks associated with distressed company situations.

Although Lloyd primarily represents creditors, he occasionally represents debtors. He brings this multi-faceted, holistic point of view to overcoming even the most difficult challenges his clients face when resolving middle-market financial crisis management, financial debt recovery, and quick strike litigation initiatives – particularly for the energy and retail sectors. He remains poised to jump into action at every phase of development – particularly when smart solutions, delivered with the utmost professionalism, are key to achieving his client’s end game.

Lloyd believes in being client accessible at every turn and immediately responsive to their specific needs, questions, and concerns. He is dedicated to providing the highest level of legal acumen – skills that were developed over many years of training at an AmLaw 100 firm. Today, Lloyd brings this “big law” comparable depth of practice to creditors with far more flexibility and cost efficiency when resolving middle market insolvency events ranging in size and complexity from millions to hundreds of millions of dollars in value.
