Tara Bush helps businesses, creditors, lenders, trustees, and other stakeholders navigate the challenges of bankruptcy and restructuring matters. Drawing on her experience as both an attorney and former business owner, she develops practical strategies tailored to each client’s industry, business objectives, and financial circumstances.
Tara advises clients on a broad range of issues that impact their interests in bankruptcy proceedings, including debtor-in-possession financing, sale transactions, stay relief motions, lease assumption and rejection disputes, reorganization plans, contested matters, and adversary proceedings involving preference, fraudulent transfer, and other avoidance claims. She regularly represents secured and unsecured creditors, bankruptcy trustees, receivers, and creditor committees in complex insolvency matters.
Her experience includes representing a Chapter 7 trustee in the Tuesday Morning bankruptcy cases, serving as counsel to the official unsecured creditors committee of respirator claimants in the Aearo Chapter 11 proceedings, representing landlords in major retail and hospitality restructurings, advising secured lenders in Chapter 11 and Subchapter V cases, and representing a court-appointed receiver in a multi-facility healthcare receivership.
Before entering private practice, Tara served as a law clerk to the Honorable E. Lee Morris of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. That experience provided a strong foundation in the Bankruptcy Code and continues to inform her practical approach to client service.
