“The best thing I do for my clients is to take their problems and make them my own. That approach to my practice really allows me to appreciate the challenges being faced by the client, and how best and most economically to approach those challenges.”

Mr. Charbonneau’s clients include corporate debtors, secured lenders, creditors' committees, panel bankruptcy trustees, and individual creditors. He represents their cases in Federal court, bankruptcy court, and state court insolvency proceedings, as well as in out-of-court workouts and debt restructuring negotiations.

“It’s very gratifying to be able to really get into a business problem and figure out the big picture solution. It's even more gratifying to be able to do that and then reach out to your opposing counsel and walk them through why a particular resolution is a win-win for everyone. That sort of resolution is much better than really sticking it to the opposition in a piece of litigation, because it's constructive rather than destructive.”

In most insolvency cases there are a range of issues that require professional assistance beyond the legal issues. In this regard, credible and effective relationships between lawyers, accountants, consultants, and finance professionals can provide efficient and seamless counsel. Mr. Charbonneau’s experience and established relationships allow him to bring together the right team for his clients.

Mr. Charbonneau is board certified in both business and consumer bankruptcy by the American Board of Certification, and regularly lectures on bankruptcy and insolvency issues to members of the Bar and to other professionals and business leaders.
