Nicole Grimal

Helmstetter

Nicole is a business bankruptcy attorney with extensive experience representing parties on all sides of insolvency matters involving distressed businesses, assets, and portfolios. As a lifelong Miami resident, she brings an in-depth understanding of the local business landscape and the unique opportunities and challenges that South Florida regional businesses and their creditors face in a rapidly changing market.

Although centered in Florida, Nicole's practice is national in scope. She routinely represents midsize and regional businesses, lenders, and creditors in Chapter 7, 11, and 13 proceedings. Nicole is particularly skilled at helping businesses downsize while remaining operational and at negotiating mutually beneficial out-of-court workouts that keep parties out of bankruptcy altogether. She has successfully obtained confirmation of reorganization plans for various enterprises, including health and educational institutions and real estate companies, and has secured bankruptcy discharges for high-net-worth individuals and local business owners.

Nicole's background includes representing fiduciaries in insolvency proceedings and assisting purchasers of distressed assets, as well as helping traditional lenders and investment funds enforce their rights against collateral and executing on judgments or other collection efforts. Her comprehensive approach to insolvency matters has already earned her recognition from the American Bankruptcy Institute as a "40 Under 40" honoree and an "Up and Coming" designation from Chambers USA. Nicole also maintains a board certification in Business Bankruptcy Law by the American Board of Certification.
