Claim-rich, cash-constrained assets
A fiduciary may control a meaningful claim without room for broad open-ended hourly litigation.
Special Situations Claimholders
Special counsel for fiduciaries controlling serious property claims.
Trustees, receivers, and fiduciaries usually call when a damaged asset or failed project may still support a meaningful claim, but the structure cannot justify open-ended hourly litigation.
Contingency representation. No fee unless we recover money for you.
When To Call
When a fiduciary-controlled claim deserves a direct read.
The first job is often to understand whether the structure controls a serious claim, what is changing claim value now, and what should be preserved.
Damaged assets in transition
Casualty, defect, delay, or failed-repair issues can lose value quickly if no one owns the recovery strategy.
Narrow claim-specific scope
Burnside can assess, preserve, and pursue the insurance, defect, delay, or revenue-loss claim itself.
Works with the fiduciary team
Trustee counsel, receiver counsel, debtor’s counsel, restructuring counsel, and other advisors can stay in place.
Direct initial read
A short non-confidential summary is usually enough to screen whether the claim merits focused counsel now.
Contingency for accepted matters
If the claim fits, aligned economics can make it easier to pursue recovery without adding hourly spend.
Contingency Representation
Aligned economics can matter inside fiduciary-controlled claims.
For qualifying serious fiduciary-controlled matters, contingency representation can allow the claim to be screened and pursued without adding broad hourly litigation spend to an already constrained structure.
No fee unless we recover money for you.
The fee is tied to recovery.
Built for serious disputes where the amount at stake justifies legal pressure.
Owners can pursue recovery without adding traditional hourly litigation spend to an already expensive problem.
Accepted matters receive focused recovery strategy, documentation review, and dispute presentation.
Representative Results
A controlled role for serious fiduciary matters.
Representative matters only. Every case depends on its own facts, evidence, timing, coverage, contracts, and applicable law. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Preserve
Claim value
Before delay, fragmentation, or the wrong narrative makes recovery harder.
Screen
Recovery path
Assess whether the asset problem supports focused contingency counsel.
Pursue
Owner-side recovery
When insurance, construction, rent loss, and asset economics justify legal pressure.
Next Step
Send the matter before delay makes the claim harder to preserve.
Send a short summary before repair decisions, claim positions, or project deadlines narrow your options.
