Corporate Law · Asset ProtectionHarborview Holdings — Commercial Asset Protection
When a disputed creditor claim threatened a family company’s property portfolio, restructuring and courtroom defense kept every asset intact.
A Portfolio Under Threat
Harborview Holdings, a second-generation family company, held six commercial properties when a former vendor asserted a seven-figure claim and moved to attach rental income across the portfolio.
The claim rested on a disputed oral agreement. But attachment proceedings move fast — without immediate action, frozen rents would have forced loan defaults within months.
Two Tracks: Court Defense and Restructuring
The challenge: stop the attachment, disprove the alleged agreement, and insulate operating income — all while keeping lenders confident.
Our approach: our litigators opposed the attachment with banking and contract records showing no such agreement, while our corporate team segregated property titles into protected entities and renegotiated loan covenants to withstand the freeze.
- Attachment defeated at the first contested hearing
- Creditor claim dismissed with prejudice after discovery
- Restructured holdings now shield each property independently
Portfolio Intact, Business Stronger
The court denied the attachment, dismissed the claim, and awarded costs. Harborview retained all six properties with uninterrupted rental income — and a corporate structure that protects each asset going forward. The family company continues to operate and expand today.
