In addition to the practice areas listed above, the Fairbanks office also practices in the following areas:
Bankruptcy
Our Fairbanks office is uniquely situated to handle Trustee, creditor committee, and creditor matters related to Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, which present a wide array of challenges. We provide guidance and instruction regarding our clients' interests, helping them make choices that lead to favorable outcomes.
Non-Profit Organization Representation
The attorneys in our Fairbanks office work extensively with large and small Alaska non-profit corporations in a wide range of matters, from formation, through daily operations, conduct of meetings, and resolution of litigation or potential litigation. We counsel our clients regarding how to govern themselves. We instruct them on how to fix problems before they lead to litigation, how to obtain and maintain tax exempt (charitable) status and how to manage daily operations. Highly respected for this work, our attorneys frequently give seminars on non-profit management for attorneys and business leaders. The attorneys in our Fairbanks office also author A Legal Handbook for Nonprofit Corporation Volunteers, commonly known as the Volunteer Legal Handbook, which is available to all our non-profit clients.
Collections for Alaska Businesses
We also represent businesses in collections actions by helping business leaders collect unpaid debts. Our goal is to help clients move forward with the appropriate action while preventing the issue from impacting the day-to-day activities of the business.
