Profile

Andrew Page is an attorney in the business litigation group with Messerli Kramer, with a particular focus in bankruptcy law, business restructuring, and insolvency. He also regularly represents creditors in equipment finance litigation and other specialty finance matters. His clients include financial institutions, asset purchasers, receivers, lenders, and businesses of all sizes and industries with financial interests in any of the above instruments.

Because of his litigation background, Andrew also specializes in litigation avoidance, allowing him to work closely with our transactional attorneys on an array of matters, including asset deals, finance arrangements, real estate agreements, workouts, and more.
