Â
GSRM lawyers are known across Tennessee as leaders in the representation of commercial entities and business owners facing economic crisis. The firm serves clients on all sides of controversy involving a troubled business, and our expertise includes bankruptcy and reorganization, workouts and turnarounds, creditors’ rights and remedies, debtor-in-possession matters, bankruptcy litigation and state and federal receiverships.
Â
GSRM advises clients in all aspects of commercial dealings, ranging from organizing business entities, handling mergers, acquisitions and dispositions—to structuring commercial transactions, drafting employment contracts, and counseling clients on matters relating to real property. GSRM attorneys consistently provide a combination of legal savvy and business know how to individuals, entrepreneurs, mid-market companies, business entities and family and closely held enterprises.
Â

Â
For decades, business owners and entrepreneurs have turned to GSRM not only for courtroom results, but also for innovative strategies that advance business interests, protect client holdings and block potential loss. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for our client. At times, this means negotiating a resolution outside of court. Other circumstances demand complex, persistent litigation, trial or appellate counsel.
Â
Mediation allows those involved in a dispute to resolve the dispute themselves and eliminate the uncertainty of having the matter decided in court.  A mediator, who manages the process and remains impartial, works with all parties until an agreement is reached that is acceptable to everyone.
