Introducing Strauss & Troy's Rapid Response Team

Strauss & Troy is pleased to introduce its Rapid Response Team - lawyers with the experience and expertise to help clients face the complex challenges of today's rapidly changing economy. Now more than at any time in recent history, clients are dealing with issues that require both legal knowledge and practical advice. No business or family is immune, and issues often cross traditional practical boundaries. Our Rapid Response Team provides immediate access to attorneys who can supply the timely answers you need to make intelligent decisions. These are just some of the issues clients are encountering:

• Calls to freeze, restructure, or replace existing credit relationships are now the rule and can unexpectedly trigger an avalanche of interrelated business defaults.



• Contingency planning is no longer something "the other guys" do. Virtually every business is impacted by payment or delivery defaults or bankruptcy filings by vendors and customers.



• Employers are facing workforce changes, which must be handled properly to avoid liability. On the employee side, workers are adjusting to reduced or lost incomes.



• Business owners must confront important questions about protecting business and personal assets. It is essential to have appropriate plans in place for business succession, estate planning, and the protection of their families.



• While the challenges can be expected to continue, it is important not to overlook the fact that depressed asset values can also present compelling business opportunities for consolidation, growth, or succession.
