Daniel F. Flores

Dan Flores is a partner and member of Chapman's Banking and Financial Services Department, Special Situations and Restructuring Group, and Litigation Group.

Commercial Loan Restructuring, Litigation, and Bankruptcy

Dan's practice is focused on creditors’ rights, concentrating on loan workout and restructuring, commercial litigation, and bankruptcy matters. He represents clients in state and federal court litigation, including defensive litigation and actions to enforce commercial loans and equipment leases, guarantees, mortgage foreclosure proceedings, replevin actions and judgment enforcement.

Dan also represents clients in all aspects of bankruptcy proceedings, including matters related to use of cash collateral, asset sales, stay relief motions, assumption or rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases, and plan confirmation proceedings.

Commercial Loan Documentation

Dan represents banks, lessors and asset-based lenders in all aspects of commercial loan document preparation, including syndicated, asset-based and commercial mortgage loan transactions.

Trust and Estate / Administration and Litigation

Many of the matters Dan addresses in his practice arise from the management and administration of trusts and estates, including the duties and liabilities of trustees and executors. He works with his clients to efficiently administer trusts and estates and, where necessary, to seek court intervention and guidance in connection with the fulfillment of their duties and responsibilities as trustee or executor.

Dan’s substantial knowledge and understanding of the financial industry stems in part from his ten-year career as an in-house litigation counsel. As a result of that experience, he is uniquely attuned to the day-to-day business pressures his clients face, and he uses that insight in recommending a practical and cost-effective course of action or legal strategy. Prior to joining Chapman, Dan represented clients nationally as a partner and financial services practice group leader at an Am Law 200 firm.
