Description:Universal Fidelity L.P. (UFLP) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early 2010, requiring that it sell selected assets in order to satisfy obligations due to creditors. Greenberg Advisors was approved in late February by the United States Bankruptcy Court to represent UFLP regarding the sale of its Panamanian ARM/BPO division. Our relationships with investors seeking an opportunity with these characteristics enabled us to contact a narrow group of highly capable parties, and close the transaction quickly -- within 60 days -- while maximizing the value for UFLP.
